Solomon St. Lightstone; (pseudonym) "Our country is on the verge of a great war, one that will be ugly but that we must fight, because it is a battle against evil. This is not a war of physical arms, although I have taken up arms before to defend my country. This war, with God on our side, is one to defend life—all life (even our enemy’s)—for life is precious to me.
"Still, we do not have to be passive, even as we pray for and forgive our enemies. Jesus took a cat o’ none tails to the money-changers corrupting the Temple. He was not in a good mood!
"Even Paul, the apostle who wrote the greatest chapter of love in the New Testament, I Corinthians 13, cursed Elymas the sorcerer with blindness.
"In everything I do, I try to remember how our great God views us, as well as the fact that we are not to sit in judgment on others, even as we do what we can to protect the innocents. Always, though, we must choose peace and reconciliation between opposing forces if possible. Anarchy, which the left seems to desire, is something I would always avoid.
"But still, watching the news every day, I feel that things are going to get a helluva lot uglier than what any of us want to see. But on this Sunday, the Lord’s Day, I remind myself that He is quite organized and knows all of His works from the Beginning or He wouldn’t be God without fault."
