Protect Your Church and Pastor from Crime & Violence

The news has recently covered several violent incidents against local churches and pastors in the U.S. This escalating trend appears to be forecasting disturbing intentions by growing numbers of militant opponents of Jesus and His Church.

In our changing world it is important in new ways to be wise as serpents while remaining harmless as doves. On way we can accomplish this is to learn practical ways to protect our pastor(s), congregations and church property from crime and violence.

Jesus said, "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves". (Matthew 10:16) This principle is true when we go out out amid wolves and when they come in to us. Jesus also said, "When they persecute you in this city, flee to another". (Matthew 10:23) In other words, take practical steps to protect yourself and watch God's purposes unfold along the way. He moves in supernaturally natural ways!


[Incidentally, we have found that a number of pastors are very interested in this article. Please do forward it to them. At the very least they will be grateful for your loving care for them and the Church.]
