Pastor killed during service

[MsSherry]

This happened about 30-45 minutes from where I live. Very sad that the world is coming to this.

it is terrible. I think that very soon we will be praying Lord come quickly. Like he told us to.

Not intending to make light of a tragedy, but at least the pastor died in the line of duty. So did the other two victims, apparently, since they were worshipping there. Psalm 116:15 says, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints."

Jacks Girl is right, too. The Lord is coming soon. How often I have prayed that He would come quickly and get this nastiness over with. I'm praying for the families as well--not just their immediate relations, but every other Micronesian Christian whose life this event has touched.

I would like to know the shooter's motive. Maybe an unbeliever who objected to some of their doctrines?

How sad. I haven't heard anything about motives.
