I believe that I am a Christian who is serious about my relationship with God and people. My concern is that over the past few months I've become very frustrating and asked myself, CAN WE CLAIM OUR SOCIETY BACK?
My brother, a dedicated police officer apprehended four guys who broke into homes and an abattoir where they stole a lot of stuff, including meat. Everything was found in their possession. They were taken to the police station but they were released a few minutes later. They are putting the blame on an under aged youngster. Now they are laughing at my brother and even threaten him.
As a Christian what do I do if someone breaks into my house? If I call the police I know they won't go to prison. Do I keep quite or, as the bible states it "be still" so that the Lord can fight it for me or should I physically fight back? Can I protect my family and property by fighting them? Does it mean I do not believe in God anymore?
I do not own a gun but I am seriously considering buying one - but can I correct one wrong with another wrong? Is it wrong to want to kill someone who threatens the lives of your children, wife and family if the government cannot do it?
I live in a very small rural town which has changed into a gangster's paradise. Can we still claim back our quite, crime-free and close-knit community? If yes, how and where do we start?
