Doing. Gods. Will.
Let that sink in.
Bus Driver Saves Students From Armed Terrorists Doing ‘God’s Will’
A quick thinking school bus driver prevents armed terrorists from doing Gods will and attacking students and teachers at an elementary school in Macon County, NC.
Earlier this week Adam Conley, 38, and Kathryn Jeter, 29, both heavily armed, were arrested on the South Macon Elementary School grounds. When asked why they were at the school with loaded guns the suspects said it was Gods will.
When asked what they would do if children and teachers had shown up, they said that if it would have been Gods will for us to shoot the children they would have shot them.
However, quick thinking school bus driver Alice Bradley prevented what could have been a horrific tragedy. In a press conference Friday, Macon County Sheriff Robert Holland praised Bradley for preventing a potential bloodbath.

Uhm... This is Religion, folks. We must respect deeply-held religious beliefs, right? Right?
The Cage: A Young Children’s Guide to the Biblical Teaching on Hell – C. Matthew McMahon
Little children ought to learn all the teachings Jesus taught about in the Bible. 1/6th of everything Jesus taught about was on judgment and hell. That is a huge amount of teaching on the subject! But how do we teach our children such a hard biblical idea appropriately?
Jesus said to Israels teacher, Nicodemas, in John 3:3, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
This is not exclusive for adults, it applies to everyone every conceived under Adams original sin. From the moment of conception, we have all gone astray under Adams original transgression. But how do we communicate this to children?
In this tastefully illustrated work that is completely in rhyme, the Bibles teaching about hell is outlined in a very easy to understand manner. It is aimed at children 5 to 9 years old, but can certainly be read by any age. It concerns a young boy who we find is trapped in a cage called Big Sin and cant escape on his own. The cage is suspended by a chain that is rusting and could break at any moment. What will our young friend do? What is he thinking about as he stands there locked away? He sees others in cages as well, some who dont escape, and some who jump to safety as their prisons doors are opened by a mysterious key. Will our young friend get out? How will he escape THE CAGE?
