A Missionary might get injured for preaching the gospel and he doesn’t fight back as a testimony...I can understand that. Does he let his child be mishandled as a way of ‘turning the other cheek’? Which is why most MK’s aren’t with the parents in really dangerous areas. You’d defend your little ones even to the death. If I saw a old widow being knocked down at an abortion rally, I would interpose and defend her. if they punched me, I might not respond in kind...at first. Yet one has so many cheeks....!
On a real random note...If Christians want to try and stay in San Francisco and other liberal cities in California and evangelize it...fine..but they should send their kids away. None of this “we must send our Christian kids to help evangelize schools and playgrounds crap” California has passed laws that sexualize kids via the school systems and thus they have tied a mill stone around their necks. It has become too dangerous a state for Christian families. The whole nation is going that way but California is hitting its nadir point much faster!
I agree, re children. I have seen people say they want their children in government indoctrination centers to be “salt & light” , but that’s ridiculous IMO not to mention I wonder how often it’s just a cop-out. Their children won’t be allowed to be “salt and light” even if they had the adult maturity and strength to stand against teachers and peer pressure, they’re more likely to come home opposing everything their parents were in the process of teaching them. Christian adults these days aren’t exactly standing firm in the lion’s den-too many think it’s a real sacrifice to stop patronising restaurants which support what we oppose, or even give up a teevee show.
