The issue of guns in church is a complicated but important topic. I have worked with many different pastors and church leaders with conflicting prospective. The biblical book of Nehemiah shows president God’s people protecting themselves with weapons to advance God’s work. This statement needs to be handled carefully and with thought. Only trained individuals should be authorized to carry weapons within a religious institution.
