Can School Shootings Ever Truly End?
Let’s begin with honesty.
The short answer is no. But the long answer is far more important—and it’s where hope still lives.
Why do school shootings happen? We often hear about:
-
Bullying
-
Broken homes and unstable family environments
-
Racial tensions or stereotyping
-
Death, grief, and unresolved trauma
-
Feelings of injustice or revenge
-
Mental health crises
These are real and devastating factors. But the root cause goes deeper—much deeper—than social conflict or emotional instability.
The Missing Foundation: The Fear of God
Ultimately, school shootings don’t begin with guns—they begin with the heart. More specifically, a heart void of reverence for God.
What happens when a generation is taught:
-
There is no divine Judge
-
There is no eternal accountability
-
There is no soul, no afterlife, no consequence beyond this life
Eventually, it results in moral lawlessness. Without a fear of God, there is no anchor for self-restraint.

The Darkness of Godlessness
Scripture reminds us:
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” – Proverbs 9:10
But what happens when that fear is erased from a child’s mind?
Without God’s law:
-
Murder becomes justified by emotion
-
Retaliation is framed as justice
-
Suicide becomes an “escape” rather than a sin
-
Evil whispers go unchallenged by truth
A godless culture teaches that consequences end with man. But God’s Word teaches otherwise.

The Spiritual Reality Behind the Crisis
The escalation of school shootings in America isn’t just a cultural failure—it’s a spiritual unraveling.
When children are raised:
-
Without the fear of the Lord
-
Without acknowledgment of sin and judgment
-
Without belief in eternal consequence
…then even the most horrific actions can be seen as “understandable.”
The darkness becomes normalized. And so, the question isn’t will it stop? but rather:
“How do we stop raising children with no fear of God?”

The Only Hope: Restoring God to Education
The answer is not more policies. It’s not just more counselors or metal detectors. The only true hope is bringing God back into education.
This isn’t a political statement. It’s a spiritual truth.
George Washington once said:
“If we separate religion from education, we will lose morality.”
Look around. He was right.

Final Thoughts: A Call to the Church
Will school shootings ever stop?
Not until we restore reverence for God in the hearts of children and the culture around them.
Yes, there is darkness.
But light still exists. You are that light.
Let us return to a place where:
-
God’s Word guides our schools
-
God’s fear shapes our decisions
-
God’s presence dwells in our families
Because until we do, the violence will continue—and likely worsen.
Let’s answer this crisis with something no policy can offer: a transformed heart, grounded in biblical truth.
