The prison population in our country is growing. What can we do about it?
I am asking now, “Is that a social problem or is that a spiritual problem?”
The reason for asking that question isĀ because someone has identified four drivers of crime:
- Poverty,
- Poor mental health services,
- Poor housing,
- Lack of educational opportunities.
What does the Bible say? In Matthew 15:19 the Lord Jesus Christ says,”For out of the Heart come evil thoughts, …”
It is a spiritual problem.
At the beginning I asked, “What can we do about the growing prison population?” The answer is, “We must preach the GOSPEL!”
