How Then Shall We Live?

What happens when pastors and elders refuse to address the current evils to the flock of God? It creates a Christianity divorced from reality. How then shall we live when the threat levels have increased and the danger is real? Quote by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and was quoted in the movie American Sniper, "There are three types of people in this world: sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. Some people prefer to believe that evil doesn't exist in the world, and if it ever darkened their doorstep, they wouldn’t know how to protect themselves. Those are the sheep. Then you've got predators—wolves—who use violence to hurt the weak. And then there are those who have been blessed with the gift of aggression and the responsibility to protect the flock. These people are a rare breed, and they live to confront the wolf. They are the sheepdogs." There is a need for Christian men to become sheepdogs again. This is also true on the international front as Europe may need to be recued from foreign invaders. What about the Crusaders and the just war theory? The founding of America and the shot heard around the world that took place at a church parking lot. Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrestling between his strong love ethic and commitment to pacifism in the face of Hitler's evil. The episode concludes with Biblical principles on God. war, violence, and defense.
