I wrote this thought in my church journal. It has no specific bearing on any church. It was just something that came to me.
Christians shouldn’t want guns. If we say we place our trust in God, why do we need weapons?
It has been on my mind that Christians arguing for guns as defense against humans seems backwards. Jesus was all about peace. Jesus said if someone slaps you, let them slap you a second time on the other cheek. He didn’t say retaliate, he didn’t even say defend yourself. Jesus told us to trust God. Shouldn’t that be enough?
