A response received to my email.
Someone has to protect Christians from the likes of the militants in the
Middle East. That's what civil governments under God are supposed to
do, and that's why God gave them the sword. I wish the civilians in
charge had given our military the green light to do the job decisively
instead of just creating vacuums for more militants to fill. My own
thinking is that supporting a military that is going after bad guys and
oppressors of Christians is putting God first since God has appointed
them to be an "avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer"
(Rom 13:4). If these people aren't wrongdoers then I don't know who is.
Now is the time to quash this before they grow stronger and bolder. The
US is not the kingdom of God, but God clearly uses secular nations to
accomplish his justice. Esther appealed to the king and the enemies of
God's people were wiped out. As a country we have in this situation the
money and the power to do the right thing. It's not only in our interest
as a country, it is the right and just thing. Our fault as a nation has
been that we have been too delicate, respectful, and politically
correct toward an enemy that only responds to dominant force. God will
hold civil authorities accountable for failing to live up to their
charge as God's "servants" and "ministers." I would like to see the US
government live up to it's God-given calling and do something about this
true evil in our world. I'm with Boykin. I believe what we are fighting
against is demonic. My prayer is that God will be gracious and in this
instance deliver us from the evil one who would like nothing better than
to use a false religion to slaughter those who follow Jesus not only in
the US, but everywhere else in the world as well. May God give our
leaders the courage to do what is right.
