National Day of Prayer President: How Christians Should Respond to the Las Vegas Massacre"This coming Sunday, Wednesday, whenever the next time [church] meetings start happening, churches should set aside time to pray for situation ... This is remarkable, and so the Church really needs to be active in this. The only thing the Church can do now at this point is pray and take care of our own community." -Ronnie Floyd, National Day of Prayer President
"I believe that Scripture is pretty clear that when lawlessness increases and obviously sin will abound," Floyd tells Charisma News. "Really [the Las Vegas massacre] has more to do with the fallenness of mankind than it has to do with where God is. God is here. God is with the people of Las Vegas. He is with every one of those people who have suffered today in some capacity. We just have to be able to trust Him even when we see things like this occur in which we have absolutely no comprehension about why this would happen and why someone would do this." At the time of reporting, Stephen Paddock had killed 50 and injured more than 400 others. Police say they believe the domestic terrorist had no militant affiliation. "I do believe that every one of these horrific acts that happens across the world, [is] all evidence [we are] nearing the return of the Lord," Floyd says. "I have no idea when it will be, but it's pretty obvious we are living in days like none of us have seen before. We're definitely being called back to God through every one of these events that were observing and watching occur around the world, especially those in our own country happening now more than we've ever seen." For Christians searching for how to serve the people of Las Vegas, Floyd offers this advice: "I'm praying for the peace of Christ to be with those who have lost loved ones. The peace of Christ is what we need to share about right now. Pray for those being cared for as well as first responders. Those are the main things, as well as just really trying without sensationalizing anything that happened today; this is just horrible. This is a time when America really needs to come together and call out to God together. these are extraordinary moments we are witnessing in history, and we don't need to minimize that sovereign God is calling His Church back to Him. The Church needs to stand up and step up. Pray also for churches in Las Vegas, for the grace to deal with this, for the people affected in Las Vegas. In that part of the valley, people are more tourists than folks that live there because of where they are at. Pray for the grace of God and peace of Christ to abound... [and for Christians to] speak out against [this attack]. I don't think we need to accept that this is just a way of life. This is not America. This does not happen in America. It is now, but it's unique for it to happen. Speak out."
