@KingdomDefTrain cc: @AndrewTWalker - Keep an eye out for Jordan (@KingdomDefTrain ) once he finishes his MDiv. The work that he is doing on self-defense from a natural law perspective is going to be a game changer.
"Many evangelicals cannot tell the difference between defending liberty and enabling a movement that uses liberty today to abolish liberty tomorrow."
From my @WNGdotorg column, "The Hammer and the Scimitar", on the dangers of the alliance between socialists and Islamists.
In my latest for @WNGdotorg, I explore the alliance between socialists and Islamists, in which both sides are attempting to play the other as the useful idiot.
Why does this alliance exist? What does history tell us about how it ends? And how should Christians respond? ๐โฌ๏ธ
Socialists are using Islamists as a grievance bloc.
Islamists are using socialists to seize political power.
Each thinks the other is the useful idiot.
Pray that Christians will find the courage to oppose both Marxist revolution and Islamic conquest.

9/ We must pray for our enemies and preach Christ to them. But we must also defend the moral order God has given, the liberties our fathers fought for, and the nation our children will inherit. We must love our neighbors by restraining evil and promoting good.
1/ For those who don't get the basketball reference ... a brief thread on how many American evangelicals are like the Washington Generals.
The Washington Generals are famous for being the team that loses to the Harlem Globetrotters night after night.
And I would add that the Red-Green coalition is only a threat because American evangelicals (and especially Baptists) are content to forever play the role of the Washington Generals.
8/ Socialist revolutionaries use Christian concern for the poor to justify envy, theft, and class warfare. Islamists use our commitment to religious liberty to deny liberty wherever they gain power. And many evangelicals mistake this for good-faith pluralism.
