Do we trust God and do nothing. Do we take up arms to defend ourselves and others? These critical questions are answered." From the publisher: "Mass murder by assassins called active shooters has become all too common place in America--even in places of worship. What is the biblical approach to this threat? Christians are struggling with how to respond. Do we trust God and pray for his protection? Do we turn the other cheek and do nothing when someone threatens to kill us? Do we take up arms to defend ourselves and others? Sometimes an illegal physical assault or threatened attack is confused with Christian persecution the act of a government at-tempting to silence people from preaching the gospel by arrest, prison, and/or torture as experienced by the first century church and modern churches in many nations around the world, today. However, persecution for preaching the gospel and an illegal physical assault by an individual(s) acting outside the law are distinct issues that call for equally distinct responses. While Christians commonly protect themselves from physical assaults using nonlethal force, we must understand that employing lethal force is far different. Utilizing a force that will likely result in serious bodily injury, or even the death of another human, is not to be taken lightly. Believers who take up arms to protect themselves or others must be prepared spiritually, mentally, and tactically. Without proper preparation in all three of these critical areas the outcome, both immediately and afterwards, may prove disastrous. The ability to quickly, effectively, and safely deploy lethal force to save innocent lives requires more than a passing familiarity with a firearm and the license to wield it. Christians who choose the responsibility of employing lethal force must be informed by both a spiritual and tactical foundation. Not only is there a proper biblical response, there is also a proper tactical response. What are these proper responses? These critical questions are answered in Pistol in the Pulpit.". 1st ed?
