I am a 1 man volunteer. No one else is interested in forming a security team , so I will do my best to protect myself and my fellow parishioners. Thank you for your time and effort in making this video about church security . It gives me insight as to what to be on the lookout for.
”But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.“ Matthew 6:33-34 ESV
Amen brother. The church's aim should always first and foremost be to bring the truth and love of christ, and help in all situations. I do also agree that there are wolves in sheep's clothing. But let our light shine..
I've only watched a few of your videos so far, but I've been to several church security conferences and watched other church safety/security content on the Internet for years. I keep hearing/seeing this expressed that churches consider "homeless people" to be threats and/or a nuisance. It's pretty ubiquitous in the body of literature. I'm not going to lay the "Jesus was homeless" rap on you, but we are talking about poor people. Right? Living on the street, sleeping in a car, vagabonds. Right? Because we are supposed to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and heal the sick. We are supposed to visit people in prison. These people in our communities ARE the mission field, not the "threat" or "disruption of the worship service." Poor people might break in to raid the frig in the kitchen or try to get warm or dry during a storm, but they are far more likely to be VICTIMS of crime than perpetrators. Jesus doesn't just love well-dressed and well-groomed people with 2 nice cars and a mortgage on a house in the suburbs. Sorry, but somebody has to say it.
Capt., may I suggest that you talk about some sort of trained volunteer crisis rescue team. A possible example of that is CERT. Example: A server terrorist attack happens at church or a major natural disaster happening while in service. Is there a rescue team trained & ready to assist while 1st responders (FR) are arriving?
Get closer to Him To start with God is The Father, The Son, and the Holy Ghost. Three yet one. The law is our schoolmaster. It teaches us who The Father is, our law giver, who The Son is, our redeemer who you are and what it will look like after the return of Jesus. Jesus kept His Father's law while He was here, He will still keep it even though He is now King. Jesus inherited His Father's ways and laws etc.. To practice our religion is to be doers of The Word. In doing so we learn to not only give our heart to God, but our mind as well. Then one day, hopefully soon, we learn how to give our soul or body and we become the living sacrifice God so seeks. The church can't do what Jesus did because it is God who heals etc. through the living who did as Jesus did and can "keep" His Father's laws, given to the children. No one can keep all the laws because they were given to a nation. God and Jesus are one. So if we can see Jesus, we see The Father. So let's look upon Jesus. So let's see what The Father did when we repented and asked for help. God placed His law upon our heart.In John we are told that Jesus is The Word. Jesus is The Word, John 1:1-5 The Word God spoke: Exodus 20:1 The Word God wrote: Deuteronomy 4:13 and The Word God made flesh John 1:14. Let the Law that hung on the cross and the Law written in your heart not just guide you, but lead you and your loved ones. As Paul would say, "put on Jesus." Seek the face of Jesus and spread Him over our land. Arm your children, home, loved ones, neighbours. Remember to pray always. Allow God to set our borders, protect our loved ones and may soon come His day and we are still standing. Put on Jesus, our Ten Commandments, Deut. 6:8-9. John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Psalm 119:151Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. Perhaps we should walk in the Spirit and Truth the way God says to in Deuteronomy 6:8-9. All who know and love God, and those who know one cannot stand against the world, need to trust His wisdom.
I would suggest that your team also PRAY before services ,,, that's a tool too, the best tool .

This is a very timely video. I am dealing with a textbook case even as I watch this.

Good advice.

The book Verbal Judo is a great way to learn how to use these concepts at a deeper level.
Amen brother, definitely important tools to have on our tool belt. 🙏🏻✝️
