I have read your articles on gun ownership and didn't know necessarily whether I agreed with them (although your position from the Scriptures was very clear).

I usually go walking around our neighborhood early in the morning, before sunrise. A young woman who was staying with us asked me, "Don't you want to take a big stick with you just in case you come across a dog or something?"

I smiled and responded, "No. The Lord is more than able to keep watch over and protect me as I walk, even without a stick. He'll take care of me."

At that moment, the Lord asked me, "Do you believe that I can protect you in the small things, but not the big ones? If you don't even need a stick, then why would you need a gun?"

I was astounded. It seemed so simple when He put it that way, but I had not made that connection. I was trusting the Lord in small things, but not big ones. Gave me a whole new perspective on gun ownership.

Just wanted to share in case that helps others.

God Bless!

I have a witness in my Spirit to your writing. I spoke to a friend today – and he said "I can describe my life in one word…vulnerable".

I have the same feeling – a sort of twisting in the wind – relying on God's goodness and protection in the face of hostile forces. God bless you my friend.
