Why Local Churches are Adding Security.  Daily Press Article 1.29.2008 Click here to view

Welcome to

 

     On December 9, 2007 eight Christians were shot by a gunman who was finally shot down by a volunteer church security professional. This is not an isolated incident. In May of 2007 a 36 year old man went on a rampage in a Presbyterian church on an early Sunday morning after killing his wife, a police officer and a church sexton, he wounded three other men and pumped more than 100 bullets into a nearby county courthouse.
 

      How about the incident in Rocky Mount North Carolina in October 2007 where a man stabbed two ladies at Lakeside Baptist Church or a pastor’s wife being attacked at Trinity Baptist Church in Hackensack, New Jersey resulting in her receiving 2,000 stitches. I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you about the man who burst into Peoples Church during a Wednesday night service on Oct. 25, 2006 with a gas can, lighting pews and parishioners on fire.  

     After hearing of these incidents, the majority will say, “wow, I’m glad I don’t live in that area or go to that church.” This brings us full circle…to our mindset. There is no set pattern of the size, location, popularity or other data that influences these acts of violence against God’s people. It’s simple, Mathew 11:12 reads “From the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. “The Message Bible translation says that “violent people constantly attack it.” CONSTANTLY! Not just 2,000 years ago, or once in a while, but constantly. That’s directly from God’s Word. So I ask the hard question, do you believe the Bible is a now Word for today? Yes, definitely.
