I’m an evangelical preacher. You can’t be pro-life and pro-gun.


I’m an evangelical preacher. You can’t be pro-life and pro-gun.

The American obsession with guns just doesn't square with biblical teaching.

"The impulse to protect oneself is natural, especially after terrorist attacks. But evangelicals must be careful that the noble language of self-defense is not used to cloak a more insidious lust for revenge. St. Paul wrote to persecuted Christians, “Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay.’” We must turn away from our fears, base human instincts and prejudices, and turn toward the example of Jesus in word and deed."
