The picture is of St. Cadmarch’s Church in Llanammarch Wells, Mid Wales, with the staue of John Penry in the foreground. Penry campaigned for the freedom of the Church in the reign of Elizabeth I and is widely believed to have been the author of the ‘Marprelate tracts.’ You can find out more about him here:-

In America, we have militant groups known as the “Christian Militia” who are offshoots from mostly Dispensation belief systems. They use “Dispy” battle crys for Israels freedom & right wing banners proclaiming the U.S.A Constitutional rights as battle cries. Sometimes disgruntled ex military from the Iraq & Afghan wars elect to join in & train these groups. It is is a growing phenomenon in the USA & when economic pressures build & come to a head I fear they will erupt so instead of the local street violence you see in the UK, it will be escalated to these types (heavily armed & spoiling for a fight). What would you recommend to tap this down before it comes to a head? Do I start reading Josephus for clues….LOL

Thanks & Blessings

Hello Steve,
Thanks for writing, though I scarcely know what to recommend to you. The problem in the USA is the prevalence of firearms, so if you get riots on a similar scale to England, you are likely to have a bloodbath.

I hope to write on the riots in England shortly. They are a result of the decline of Christianity in the UK, even of the most nominal kind. How many potential rioters were dissuaded from their course of action by a fear of hell? Few indeed, I imagine. ‘There is no fear of God before their eyes’ (Rom 3:18).

I can only recommend praying the prayer of Jehoshaphat (2Chron 20:12) and preaching the pure word of God.
