National Security
Grounded Viewpoint
The current national security strains—domestic shutdowns undermining homeland safety, external warfare and economic shocks, and rising homegrown violence—call Christians to pray for those in authority and for peace (1 Timothy 2:1–2; Matthew 5:9) while holding leaders accountable to protect the common good (Romans 13:1–4). Our ultimate security rests in God's sovereignty (Psalm 46), which compels the church to pursue justice, care for the vulnerable, and seek wisdom before action.
