A friend shared this video with me. I hesitated sharing it here simply due to the extremely graphic nature of the video, there are pictures where it displays death and destruction so please be forewarned on this. With that said, I think knowing history is extremely important because if we do not learn from our past we are going to repeat it. While this deals with gun control, evil men, and evil regimes, that principle can be applied in every aspect of our lives. Proverbs 26:11 reminds me of this in my own life:
"As a dog returns to his own vomit, so a fool repeats his folly."

I write this for my sons, because one day I fear that either my sons, or their children will have to one day fight again for their freedom, not just because of what our government has become, but because there are enemies of God and His people. For me, it hearkens back to what Nehemiah did when he was rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem and there were enemies all around them that were trying to murder the workers and destroy the people:
Nehemiah 4:18: "Every one of the builders had his sword girded at his side as he built."
Men it is our responsibility to protect our families and to protect those we love. It starts in the home with principles, being men after God's own heart. This is a just one principle.
