Thanks Bryan. With everything going here. That was well timed. May God grant us the wisdom to know how to defend ourselves, more over grant us peace and resolve in doing so. As you quoted: Vengeance is mine sayeth the LORD…
WOW! Thanks for posting this one Bryan. I believe you may have convinced me to buy a gun, I already own three swords.
Dark days indeed are here, and now I wish I wasn’t alive to see them, but I am starting to think it’s possible I might actually be alive to see Him in the sky. *Cue “Crack the Sky” by Mylon Lefever & Broken Heart.
Jesus is coming soon has been rolling around inside of me for days now. Not saying I’m a prophet or anything, but somethings different now than ever before.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this!
Maranatha!
Get a gun out of responsibility to stay back evil. The sword Jesus spoke of was for protection against evil. When evil comes for me…..I’ll stand against it. I’m not willingly going into a Godless FEMA camp
We are told in Titus, that Jesus’ return(Rapture), for his church will be glorious…..it is our blessed hope. These are great times to be alive….. to possibly witness Christ’ snatching of his church. We might have to go through tough times( count it all joy when you are persecuted for righteousness sake, or suffer for the Lord). His return is eminent…..be teady

Bryan…..good post. My wife has started her own video podcast…..Be.notdeceived@yahoo.com. Her and our pastor focus on prophecy , which is 27% of the Bible and the coming Rapture of the church. I appreciate your podcast and the commitment you have in our Lord ,Savior Jesus Christ You’ve been fighting the good fight.

This war is both troubling and hopefully eye opening for America. Many don’t understand the hate that exist and we know who the author of this hate is. Thankfully we serve the Victor but in the mean time we can pray for the salvation of many
David Wilkerson rings in my ears when this discussion raises its head. He told Niki “you can cut me in a thousand pieces and every piece will cry out to you that Jesus loves you” (paraphrase)
To me that indicates Jesus is protecting me so my real concern is protecting others from harms way.
In religions Jesus is declared to be Lucifer’s son, Lucifer’s brother, even Michael the Arch Angel… but the Word says He is Truth.. seems sharper than a 2 edged sword .. to me. later tater
Thanks, Bryan. I think we’ve all been doing a lot of thinking about a lot of things lately. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us. I’m so glad God doesn’t say we have to know everything. Crazy days we’re living in for sure!
I spent a lot of time pouring over the subject of war in the Bible..I didn’t want to sound mean spirited, But I finally had to tell God in person, that I never feel like we’re winning! I’m glad he knows.
I hear ya! And I don’t think you sound mean spirited at all. It’s actually kinda comforting to know fellow Christians have the same feelings and questions!
Wow, Brother Bryan, you gave me something new to think about! I’m wondering if I should go back into martial arts training like Chuck Norris. It’s healthy and with Yeshua you can take on a hundred wolves. You can use their fur to witness to your neighbors. I’m certain David and his sling shot approach helped Israel more than hurt.
Thanks a million! I’ll help out posting your Nutshell Sermons on Twitter aka X! God Bless!
Thanks Rand! .. yer in my top five most helpful friends with this effort. I can’t thank you enough for sharing em. Don’t know what to say most of the time about use of force. But God only knows when that feels justified.. it’s why I follow Jesus
Hi Beth.. I pray continually about what I react to, in the way of world events and political chaos. I’ve had to bite my lip a lot.. God doesn’t seem to be in need of my outrage about stuff. He’s in charge and Ima follow his lead

I’ve thought about buying a gun.. haven’t yet. Not going to do that out of fear though. I’m judging the rhetoric and asking God when?

Good stuff.. I must admit, there’s a lot to cover in the way of where and how we fight evil.. I need to brush up
I have a gun, but it’s only a squirt gun. Still, this city has some hard water, so a few streams of that could cause some damage.

Bryan,
I have always found it easier to live up to God’s expectations than “Christians”
Wow Brad… that there is a quotable quote thanks for leaning in
