Community is the Best Defence

Belonging to a nation is dangerous, because another stronger nation can invade a nation. An army can conquer the parliament, the government, the military headquarter and the police. A nation can be conquered.

Belonging to a Christian community is much safer. If there are hundreds of thousands of communities in a country, an invading army cannot send a squad of soldiers into every community. They can take control of the police force, but that does not matter, because the police rarely enter most communities. They are irrelevant to most of what happens in the community.

A Christian community would be able to function unchanged. They will be able to expand out and draw their invaders in to the life of Jesus. National defence forces will never be able to defend every community. The best defence against attack belonging to a strong community.
