As weary as we Christians might become about social issues, there is no getting away from them. Partly, because world-affairs encroach upon us. It will never be possible for Christians to build a place where we will be isolated from the rest of society. Even the Amish are affected by national and world events. The Christians of the U.S. ended up being strongly impacted by the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo, in 1914.

,In December, pastor John Piper published an article in which he gave his reasons for believing that it is a sin for a Christian to own or use a firearm for self-defense (he didn't discuss hunting). He said that he wasn't sure that he would kill an assailant who was trying to murder his wife, because killing the assailant would mean the assailant could never receive Christ as his savior. You can find the article at DesiringGod.org.
