Summary
On July 13th, 2024, there was an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. While Trump was not killed, the event was a tragic display of evil and a reminder of the poisoned state of public discourse in America. In response to these events, Dr. Owen Strachan offers four reflections from a biblical worldview. He emphasizes the need for Christians to be galvanized by the evil they witness, to recognize the spiritual battle at hand, and to fight in hope, knowing that God is ultimately in control.
