Turn on the news and you will be inundated with headlines about wars and rumours of wars. According to WiseVoter.com, there are 32 countries currently involved in conflicts of various kinds, wreaking havoc on their economies and their populace. Some of the African nations that bear the misery of making this list are Algeria, Benin, and Burkina Faso among others which are all enduring terrorist insurgencies. Countries like the Central African Republic and Ethiopia are dealing with Civil Wars. With war being a constant reality it would be wise for Christians to be equipped with a Biblical understanding of how nations should evaluate their participation in a war.
