I hear very little from evangelicals about the impact of gun proliferation on violent crime,

much less an issue like nuclear disarmament.

I hear almost nothing about healthcare for the poor and

protecting widows and orphans, all biblical mandates.

Only recently have evangelicals taken up the cause of creation care.

Gun proliferation does not cause violent crime.

Widows and orphans??? I personally give to help some particular persons. Should I demand all citizens help all of them (taxes do this now).

I do my personal best to protect creation. I can’t force to do the same (the Govt tries), but I can suggest.

Because guns are not the cause of violent crime.

If someone wants to hurt someone they will find a way.

Widows and orphans are two specific groups who were unable to provide for themselves in the NT time period. I do believe the church should be helping people who cannot help themselves.

Creation care?? We are called to be good stewards of what God has given to us.

The concern I have when I hear "creation care" is for many this is another variation of "global warming", "climate change". It is another attempt to infiltrate liberal doctrine into the church which elevates the creation over mankind.

Every church I see around here has a clothes donation box and a food pantry. So does every synagogue I see around here, come to think of it. Some Manhattan churches have soup kitchens and shelters. What is the author smoking?

The other things he cites are simply liberal talking points.
