Why You Defend Your Mother

The misguided scholars who say America is merely an idea would say the same thing of the Christian religion. They assume that our religion is a set of beliefs to be set forth to the rational mind of man, then adopted or rejected as the free and independent human will determines. Far too many Christians have adopted this same manner of thinking. They assume the apologetics course is complete after they have supplied students with all of the necessary syllogisms to refute propositions levelled against Christian truth. Nothing aginst logic, of course. But you don’t defend your mother because the logic checks out. You defend your mother because she is your mother.

Sin is to miss the mark. But modern Christians can think their misses are the misses of a man shooting targets alone at the range. When in truth our misses come amid battle as we fight for the glory and honor of our king and the preservation of our families and kingdom. Your duty, then, is grow a chest full of loyalty, allegiance, and devotion to the man, your King, Jesus Christ. That swelling love in the chest is the central thing that must be in you and your children. Train yourself and them to that end. Worship today to that end.
