    Episode 446 - The Weapons of Our Warfare

    In this week's episode, we continue to look at articles from my book, “Duty to Defend,” with an chapter by Rev. Gaven Mize. In 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, St. Paul speaks of spiritual weapons and spiritual warfare. Do these verses mean that Christians should give up earthly weapons and defense against earthly threats?

    Episode 445 - The Example of Jesus

    In this week's episode, we continue to look at articles from my book, “Duty to Defend,” with an chapter by Rev. Willie Grills. In John 13:15, Jesus calls his disciples to follow his example. He did not fight back against those who came to arrest, torture, and ultimately kill him. So, does that mean that we, as his followers, should do the same when it comes to guns and self-defense?

    Episode 444 - Numbered with the Transgressors

    In our continuing look at my book, Duty to Defend, Lloyd reviews one of his own entries starting on page 104. Did Jesus (referring to Isaiah 53) mean to suggest that he would be “numbered with the transgressors” because his disciples carried swords?

    Episode 443 - Do Not Fear Those Who Kill the Body

    In this week's episode, we continue our walk through the book “Duty to Defend” with a chapter by Rev. Drew Newman on Matthew 10:28. Gun-control Christians have argued that gun owners only own guns because of fear. And since we should not fear the home invader who can only kill our bodies, we should not own guns to defend our lives. Makes sense, right? Right. Rev. Newman explains the context and why those arguments fail.

    In this week's episode, we continue our walk through the book “Duty to Defend” with a review of the chapter by Rev. Thomas Stark on Micah 6:8. Gun-control Christians suggest that you can't walk humbly if you have a gun for self-defense. Are they right?

    Episode 439 - The Golden Rule

    This week we are continuing our series on the book “Duty to Defend” with an article by Rev. George T. McCall. Matthew 7:12 tells us that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us. Does this mean we should avoid owning a firearm for self-defense? Since we don't want to be shot, should we avoid firearms so that we do not shoot someone else?

    Episode 438 - Treasures in Heaven

    This week we are continuing our series on the book “Duty to Defend” with an article by Rev. Philip Zielinski. Matthew 6:19-21 cautions us to not lay up treasures on earth that thieves can steal, but rather the lay up treasures in heaven. The implication being that you should not own a firearm for home defense because you should not use deadly force in defense of property (ignoring, of course, more nefarious intentions of home intruders).
