Prodigal: That turned out well!

Me: Thank you!

This is from The Insanity of Obedience by Nik Ripken

We desire that the persecutors be punished. Once again, this is a response that most people would barely question. We assume that, since persecution is evil, it deserves to be punished. We have been in numerous meetings led by well-known Western Christians that have focused on a call for military intervention on behalf of believers in persecution. Our commitment to stop persecution and punish “the bad guys” likely says more about the condition of our own hearts than about the needs of believers in settings of suffering.

I am sending you out like sheep among wolves Matthew 10:16
