Baptist Pastor Shot In Pulpit Today

[Aquila]

Isn't it strange how so many will fight to the death over standards (both pro and con) but not obey something Jesus Himself commanded. We are like lambs to the slaughter. Being a Christian has cost untold numbers of people their lives. Many under persecution answered not again their accusers, their families paid a dear price.

I believe that when you're sold out to Christ... violence isn't an option. I wanted a gun for home defense when I was married. My wife was a Christian. She gave me a two hour lecture on being a Christian and counting the cost. She told me that she didn't want me to kill to protect her, she was a Christian and prepared to die in obedience if necessary. So, I didn't buy the gun. We decided to trust G-O-D and not the G-U-N.
