The Lord Jesus Christ is no pacifist, neither are those who follow Him. In response to Islamic terrorism and a world that seems to be growing more lawless and dangerous every day, many Christians are discussing the issue of self defense, defense of family, defense of church, and the general defense of neighbor with deadly force. Influential teachers like John Piper have stepped into this conversation contending for so-called -Christian- pacifism. This sermon is an endeavor to lovingly take the Sword of the Spirit to non-Christian pacifism, to put it to death, and to bury it in good Christian, non-pacifist, Biblical fashion.
