Front Sight Blog: My Kinda Church
March 22nd, 2014
My New Year’s Resolution is to be as pro-active as possible in spreading the truth about the importance of our cherished Second Amendment, while exposing the liars, whores and thieves who conspire to strip us of our freedoms, and to continue to provide you and the rest of America with the absolute greatest opportunities to become armed and trained.
I firmly believe our future, and the future of our children and grandchildren, depends on it.
As part of my New Year’s Resolution, I will do my very best to deliver to you hard-hitting and entertaining blogs. You can help greatly, by doing two things for me…
- Send me great videos and articles you find, to share with our hundreds of thousands of Front Sight Subscribers.
- When I send you a Front Sight Blog, please forward it to all on your list and ask them to do the same. With hundreds of thousands of Front Sight subscribers and the vast power of the Internet, we can literally educate the world if we each do our part. I will dedicate my time and resources to this end. Please assist me in our mission to pro-actively and positively change the image of gun ownership in our lifetimes.
With that in mind, here is a news article about a church that we should all support…
Guns for Jesus: Churches fill their pews with weapons giveaways
By Patt Morrison – March 11, 2014 
What would Jesus shoot?
Some churches in Kentucky and in upstate New York are doing what it takes to get people into the pews to hear the word of God — and in their neck of the woods, that means giving away guns.
The flier for the raffle at Grace Baptist Church, in Troy, N.Y., shows an AR-15 — an assault rifle altered to make it legal in that state — with a quote from the gospel of St. John, “My peace I give unto you.” It isn’t spelled “piece,” but it could have been.
The church’s pastor, John Koletas, told the Albany Times Union, “I’m just trying to be a blessing and a help to the gun owners and the hunters and give away a free AR-15. It’s the right thing to do.”
In Kentucky, where gun giveaways happen in some churches just about every week, a free raffle of 25 guns by Paducah’s Lone Oak First Baptist Church got about 1,300 people into the church hall for a steak dinner and a pep talk by a gun fancier named Chuck McAlister who’s been hired by Kentucky’s Southern Baptists to help boost congregations by evangelizing — in this case, about guns and sin and Jesus.
A good number of those 1,300 may not wind up in the pews on Sunday morning; a lot of them go to other churches. And there was no Sermon on the Mount, with its remark about the blessed peacemakers, to generate big applause; it was McAlister displaying his grandfather’s gun and saying, “There’s no government on the face of this Earth that has the right to take this gun from me.”
Sunday school teacher David Keele told NPR that the church was accomplishing two things: “One, we’re going to talk about the 2nd Amendment to bear arms. But that isn’t the primary thing. The primary thing is who Jesus is.”: And Jesus, in the form of a stack of Bibles, is right there alongside the display of donated guns — but the Bibles, as NPR pointed out, will cost you money.
Tom Jackson isn’t a regular churchgoer, but he showed up for the Kentucky raffle, saying what many say when they’re asked about why they need guns: “If somebody kicks your door down, means to hurt your wife, your kids, you — how do you turn the other cheek to that?”
But there are a lot of things to defend your family against, and a lot of other ways to defend them apart from what comes out of the barrel of a gun.
There’s defending them from illiteracy and sickness. So are there churches in New York or Kentucky, or churches anywhere, raffling off a year’s worth of healthcare coverage, or $500 savings bonds for a child’s education?
Eighty-nine years ago, an adman named Bruce Barton, who co-founded the renowned advertising company BBD&O, wrote a book that proclaimed Jesus to be “the world’s greatest business executive,” and “the founder of modern business.” That Jesus would have understood the principle behind getting people in the door — by loaves and fishes, but probably not by Smith & Wesson.
And here is my non-violent solution to forever keeping the government’s hands off our guns…
George Washington said, “To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.”
I would like to paraphrase President Washington by saying, “An armed and well trained population, drastically outnumbering any forces that our government can muster, is the most effectual means of preventing gun confiscation.”
My non-violent solution to forever keeping the government’s hands off our guns is to train the millions of responsible gun owners in this country to a level of skill at arms that surpasses law enforcement and military standards.
As long as the government knows that they could never win a skirmish, or a battle, or a war for our guns, they will always know better than to ever attempt to confiscate guns in this country.
I don’t just talk the talk, I put my money where my mouth is and deliver because I believe the future of our country and the freedom for generations to come is held in the hands of armed and trained Americans.
So here is my gift to you, your family, and your community.
