Do not be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. God will fight for you! These are words that the ancient Israelites heard and followed sometimes. Jesus told people of His day, "According to your faith, be it unto you!" What about Christians today? Should we exercise our second amendment rights and arm our home with an array of guns, semi-automatic or otherwise? The central message of the sermon is that you will never have better protection than you will have with God. Human protection devices don't even qualify as a close second choice! We need to come to deeply know and understand that. According to our faith, we shall be safe and protected.
