Dozens Of Bullets Were Just Fired At A Famous Pastor’s Home. Sadly, This Was NOT An Isolated Incident.

When are people finally going to start waking up?  Violence that is being specifically directed at people like us is skyrocketing.  Pastors are being targeted.  Conservative politicians are being targeted.  Churches are being targeted.  Christian schools are being targeted.  Pro-life organizations are being targeted.  As you will see below, in recent years we have literally seen hundreds of such examples, but most of them received very little attention.  People like you and I are being targeted for what we believe, and it is only going to get worse.

On Tuesday night, dozens of bullets were fired at Pastor Greg Locke’s home in Tennessee.  It is being reported that one of his children was actually inside the home at the time of the shooting…

A shooter or shooters opened fire on a Tennessee pastor’s house late Tuesday night, firing dozens of bullets into the residence while one of the pastor’s children was home, according to police.

The Wilson County Sheriff’s Office tells PEOPLE it is investigating the Tuesday night shooting and that “approximately 30-40” shell casings were recovered at the home of pastor Greg Locke in Mt. Juliet, Tenn.

Officers responded to the home around 10:30 p.m. local time, Cpt. Scott Moore of the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office says.

Thankfully, the child that was inside the home was not hurt.

But according to Pastor Locke, a bullet actually “cut through the headboard of our youngest daughter’s bed and lodged in her pillow”…

“It’s 2:00am and for the last 3 hours our home has been a full blown crime scene. According to the security cam footage, we pulled into our driveway exactly ONE MINUTE after a madman unloaded an entire magazine of bullets from an automatic weapon into our house, garage and my truck. The sound on the video is truly horrific. Detectives will still be here for a good while tonight. Only one of our kids was home and thank God not in the same area of the house. As you can see in the last pics, one of the bullets cut through the headboard of our youngest daughter’s bed and lodged in her pillow. We are all being security escorted to a hotel tonight. We have no further details. The only detail that matters is that Psalm 91 is true and GOD PROTECTED US IN UNIMAGINABLE AND SUPERNATURAL WAYS. Please pray for the Locke family tonight. We love all of you.”

What would have happened if his youngest daughter had been laying on that pillow at that moment?

Or what would have happened if Locke’s vehicle had pulled up one minute earlier?

Just like we witnessed with Donald Trump a couple of months ago, a great tragedy was avoided only by the narrowest of margins.

But from now on, Pastor Locke and his family are going to have to do things very differently, because the threat of violence is not going to go away.

It is likely that someone decided to target Pastor Locke because of something that he said or did.  In particular, the book burnings that his church has conducted have gotten quite a bit of publicity…

For years, his church has worshiped underneath an enclosed tent. Neighbors have expressed concerns over excessive noise, large events, and book burnings.

“Book burnings is the minimal amount of what we burn it was Ouija boards, it was charms, statues, and all types of things,” said Locke.

Several months ago, someone set a trailer full of Bibles on fire very close to the property where Pastor Locke’s church is located…

The Tennessean reports that Locke’s church has been vandalized previously, including in March when local police responded to a trailer fire in which hundreds of Bibles were burned on the intersection where the church is located.

Could that very disturbing incident be related to the shooting that just occurred?

Hopefully authorities will be able to solve this mystery soon.

But even if the police catch whoever shot up Pastor Locke’s home, it is imperative for all of us to understand one thing.

This was not an isolated incident.

Let me say that again.

This was not an isolated incident.

Anti-Christian violence in this country has been rising at an exponential rate.

According to the Family Research Council, the number of attacks on churches in 2023 was twice as high as it was in 2022, and it was eight times as high as it was in 2018…

Anti-Christian hatred is accelerating in the United States, according to a Christian nonprofit that has tracked violence against U.S. churches since 2018.

The Washington, D.C.-based Family Research Council (FRC) released its annual Hostility Against Churches report last week, finding there were 436 hostile incidents against churches in 2023. This is more than double the number tracked in 2022 and more than eight times as many as the group found in 2018.

So what is our country going to look like if violence against churches continues to rise at an exponential rate?

From this point forward, all churches are going to have to take security very, very seriously.

This will particularly be true if Donald Trump wins the election in November.

Many on the left consider “evangelical Christians” to be their number one enemy, and if Trump wins some will choose to direct the rage that they are feeling at “Trump’s strongest supporters”.

It doesn’t matter if your church strongly supports Trump or not.  If Trump wins, your church will still be a target.

We live at a time when our entire society seems to be going completely nuts, and you never know when some crazy person will pull out a gun and start shooting…

At least four people are dead Wednesday and a 14-year-old boy is in custody after opening fire at a high school in north central Georgia and putting the building on lockdown, authorities said.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) confirmed that four people died at Apalachee High School in Barrow County, Georgia — approximately 40 miles northeast of Atlanta – and nine others were taken to various hospitals with gunshot wounds. The suspect is alive and in custody.

According to CNN, the school shooter in Georgia was apparently inspired by past school shootings…

Authorities searching the home of the 14-year-old accused of killing four people at a Georgia high school this week found documents that they believe he wrote referencing past school shootings, a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation told CNN.

The source said that the writings were discovered in the bedroom of suspect Colt Gray, and included references to the 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.

When I was growing up, I never even imagined that someone might come into my school and start shooting.

That sort of thing just didn’t happen in those days.

But today, lunatics that commit horrific acts of violence are drawing inspiration from previous lunatics that have committed horrific acts of violence.

And much of that violence is now being directed at people like us.

So keep your head on a swivel and watch your six, because our world has become a very dangerous place.
