HOW THE SECOND AMENDMENT REFLECTS BIBLICAL THOUGHT
In my previous article, I established the Biblical principle that citizens should be armed for two basic reasons. The first of these reasons is that we need to be able to protect ourselves in a fallen world against those who would do us harm. The second of these reasons is that we need to be able to keep government from growing tyrannical, for it will always tend to do so. Continue reading
There are times when any good shepherd recognizes that the need to comfort his flock outweighs all other concerns, and this seems to me to be one of those times. This past week has found me dealing with a deep and foreboding sense of loss among a shocked Christian populace far beyond that which I’ve ever seen before in the wake of any election, forcing me to realize that something truly profound had occurred last Tuesday.

It is with both sadness and a growing degree of anger at my national government that I must break away from my series on international borders to address the issue of the way our government is wasting the lives and blood of our military personnel. Earlier this week, as a law enforcement chaplain, I had the somber duty of responding to the apparent suicide of a Marine who lived in my neighborhood.
