Murder He Spoke (5 of 9)
Doug Tegner
So much in news past few weeks about murder.
Jennifer Lin
5 Air Force Personnel in Spokane
Of course, the grisly deaths of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman
Murder is always a tragedy
It always leaves others behind who have a long-term journey of coping
Murder in cold-blood, destroys a human life, a life in the image of God
A murderer takes the place of God determines when should die

Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
It's really a matter of the heart.
If it's not a gun, it will be by some other means.
If people do not have personal self-restraint and self-control, we will never see a decline to murder.
What precedes most murders?
