Important Takeaways:

• Ken Ham- Who would have ever thought we would be living in a time when murderers are considered heroes?
• I suppose, in one sense, it’s not surprising. Millions of children are murdered in their mother’s wombs, and those who murder them, the abortionists, are considered heroes or heroines. We now have this particularly alarming example of Luigi Mangione, who shot the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, being applauded.
• Consider an interview conducted on the streets showing startling opinions from the public:
  • Question: What do you think about Luigi Mangione?
  • Person #1: I’m up in the air about it because he killed someone, but I can understand part of his reasoning.
  • Question: Luigi Mangione, do you think he is a hero?
  • Person #2: Yeah. I do think he is a hero.
  • Question: Should Luigi Mangione be free?
  • Person #3: Yes. He is fighting for the people!
  • Person #4: He is a man of the people.
  • Person #5: Taking someone’s life is objectively something that is wrong to do, but he is a hero, in my opinion.
• ABC News had this headline: ‘Supporters of suspected CEO killer Luigi Mangione established defense fund.’
• Then, adding to the absurdity, politician Elizabeth Warren stated in an interview about Mangione, “You can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands.”
• Why shouldn’t everyone act according to their personal judgment and whims? In Judges 21:25, we’re told, “In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” That is the point. When there’s no absolute authority, everyone does what he believes is right. Right or wrong is subjective. What’s good or evil is subjective.
• Our culture has increasingly abandoned God, deserted God’s Word, thrown Christianity out of the public education system, taught generations of people that there’s no God, and bought into the lie that we are merely animals. It is no wonder people think: ‘I can do whatever I want. I’ll define right and wrong. If I want to murder, it’s okay for me if I determine it to be the right thing to do. Why not?’
• It’s a heart problem. That’s what we need to understand. The gun that was used to murder the CEO wasn’t the problem. Knives used to kill people are not the problem. What is the problem? The problem lies within people’s hearts. We’re sick; we have a sin problem. When people let their sinful nature rule over them, they do whatever is right in their own eyes.
• It’s a reminder that the culture is sick
• We have to understand the true sickness and deal with the origin. Doctors don’t just want to deal with the symptoms; they must get to the root cause and deal with the disease. The root cause is a spiritual issue. We have to be pointing people to the truth of God’s Word, the saving Gospel, and see a heart change—from a sick heart because of sin to one regenerated by the work of the Lord, Jesus Christ, through what He did on the cross of Calvary and the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
• That’s the solution.
