WHAT IS THE NEED OF CHRISTIAN DEFENSE GROUP?
We believe in what the Bible says about standing for the helpless -
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”- Proverbs 31:8,9 (NIV)
“Blessed are those who have regard for the weak; the LORD delivers them in times of trouble.” - PS 41:1
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” James 1:27
“He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth; he saves them from the clutches of the powerful. So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.” - Job 5:15,16(NIV)
There are many such verses that teaches us to not tolerate Injustice and oppression, about which most of the times We dont hear in the Churches and are not taught by the pastors and the Church elders.. Jesus taught us ZERO TOLERANCE towards Injustice
DID JESUS FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICE?
Yes, Jesus Himself, faced the pharisees, scribes, the law makers who were politicians of those days and called them "Brood of vipers, whitewashed tomb" etc, that shows the righteous side of Jesus which most of us dont imitate, We are called to Imitate Jesus in His entirety,
We see in JOHN 2:15, Jesus picked up the whip against the one who were trying to defame the temple of God ,
John 2:15
"So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables."
Jesus turned the other cheek only at the cross to purposefully give up His life. But at times Jesus showed His Holy anger to bring Justice and righteousness. These are somethings which every believer much develop from within and imitate. We dont tend to imitate it because it is not taught to us at our homes, churches, we are only taught to suffer, but not defend. Its time

A Prayer to Rest in God‘s Goodness When Everything Is Changing - Your Daily Prayer - June 6
Whatever the change you are currently encountering, know that with any change comes a death to the old. A way of life that you may have come to find great comfort in. There is no denying that death or loss of anything that has brought us joy can cause hurt, discomfort, and grief. I feel it. You can allow yourself to feel it, too.
