"By All Your Saints" and "A Mighty Fortress" performed by the Artist formerly known as METALloyd, copyright 2023.
In this week's episode, Lloyd and Pastor Bennett review a 2014 video that resurfaced on Facebook this week. The video -- presented as an example of tyrannical cops hassling a law-abiding gun owner -- we find exactly the opposite. A guy who is supposed to be on our side, who is not helping.

Audio from our first ever live Clinging to God & Guns show. Lloyd and the Padre discuss the recently released (and quickly recalled) annotated Large Catechism. Specifically, the articles related to the Fifth Commandment and self-defense. The release created an uproar in Lutheran social media, with accusations of "woke" language and leftist ideas making their way into the book. Is this just overblown hype? Or is there more to be concerned about?
It's our first Online Hangout of 2023. Lloyd is joined by Reformation Gun Club Members Mike Johnson, Dan Rushing, Justin Hover, Donny Ross, Curtis Heidel, William Swenson, Scott Van Dorsten, and Pastor Drew Newman.
In this our first Clinging to God & Guns episode of 2023, Lloyd and the Padre discuss Pastor Bennett's article in the new book "Duty to Defend: Volume 2," the context of Phillippians 2:6-8, the reason it is poorly applied in the gun debate, and a better example of Jesus for us to follow in defense of our neighbors.

New Music, "By All Your Saints," by the Artist formerly known as METALloyd, copyright 2023.
A Christmas message based on the account of author Henry Williamson of the Christmas Truce on the Ypres salient in 1914. That account, published in the London Daily Express in 1937, reminds us that even during that deadly and bitter conflict, we are all God's children. Pray that we remember that fact in the midst of our modern day divisions.

Our newest book "Duty to Defend: Volume 2" addresses Bible verses that are used without context in the gun-rights debate. In response to the book's announcement, Facebook user Jason decided to respond by taking quotes from the early church fathers out of context. Lloyd and the Padre discuss the early church fathers, the context of their writings, and the quotes that Jason provided us from Justin Martyr, St. Irenaeus, and St. Athanasius.

Does the Bible tell us that we must turn the other cheek to the home invader? To lie down and die rather than defend our lives or those of our loved ones? Does it command us to own a gun? Here you will find the most common (and occasionally uncommon) Bible verses that are used in the gun debate. Each one has been carefully reviewed by an ordained Lutheran pastor who then puts the verse in the proper context to help you respond when you see these verses misused in the arguments over the Second Amendment. This second edition includes over new content, with 15 new articles from 11 pastors, including seven who are new to the series. Plus an exhaustive index, more footnotes and definitions, and three new articles by the editor. Order your copy today!

Crime is on the ballot in the 2022 mid-terms. The Left doesn't know how to deal with it because they don't understand the nature of evil. As proof, Lloyd points to recent media examples, including Amazon's bastardization of the dark lord Sauron in the "Rings of Power."

Lloyd and Pastor Bennett discuss the key issues in the upcoming mid-term election and how, as Christians, to decide for whom we should vote.
In today's commentary, Lloyd reviews an article from the Religion News Service which tries to explain why it is that attending church more regularly might lead you to reject the "social gospel."
