What does amen mean? It is so, so be it, an acknowledgement of
agreement of the truth as it pertains to the Word of God. I was taught that it is a statement of belief
in and truth of God’s word.
With that in mind, as I was
rolling down the avenue with my car radio tuned in to a talk show, I heard the
guest minister reiterate what the killer at Mother Emmanuel said, he chose the
victims not because they were Christian but because they were black and that he
was leaving someone alive to tell the story.
As the guest minister concluded, the host of the show responded with,
“Amen.” My opinion was that was NOT an
“Amen” moment.
That was a moment to
disagree wholeheartedly with that mode of thinking and then continue the
discussion. Amen should not be used
randomly and without thought.
Back to the matter at hand,
so many lives have been lost due to gun violence leaving many grieving families
and communities as a result of shootings.
We must continue to pray for these families and communities. The journey ahead is long but we will
continue to pray for peace, strength, justice, and God’s guidance.
Amen.
