March &
April's
Edition focuses on Christian's and War |
|
|
Our country is once again engaged in war. As always there are those who
oppose war and those who support war. Where are we to be as Christians?
Is there one and only one position that we must adopt? It has been said
that ‘All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do
nothing’. Do we consider ourselves the “good men”? Do we have a civic,
moral or even a Christian duty in such matters? Are Christians obligated to
protect innocents from evil? What are our limits and guidelines regarding
war and fighting? Let us examine these questions.

and Observer, leaders of churches in the Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill area are steering far clear of the subject of war. She says clergy in the Triangle are "sticking to the eternal themes of peace and love, saying
the politics of war have no place in the pulpit." I feel certain that most religious leaders around the country share that sentiment. This reminds
me of a point Tom Minnery makes in his book, Why You Can't Stay Silent.
In the book, Minnery recounts a visit he made to the Central American country of Nicaragua.

The pages listed will provide tremendous help in defending the
Faith and giving reasons for why Christianity and the Bible are not only
true, but make perfectly good sense. In today's world it is tragic to see
how little some Christians can stand for their faith. The Christian/Biblical
IQ of many believers would sadly put them in the realm of slow to brain
dead. If you are dealing with a cultist, an atheist, an evolutionist or simply
want to grow in your faith, you will find a lot of great information in the links
