Black belt preacher, Rev. Robert Bakke, says churches can no longer remain soft targets and must arm themselves. “This is not about gun control, rental trucks or fertilizer bombs. It is about evil, and you will never stop evil because it is in the world,” says Bakke, “But you can deter a coward by letting him know you have plenty of firepower on the premises.” Rev. Bakke, who is a black belt and firearm advocate, says Christians are supposed to overcome evil, not run into the shadows and hide from it. “I’ve never understood why so many pastors teach weakness as being the way of Christianity,” says Bakke, “Our God is almighty and all-powerful, and we are made in that all-powerful nature…it is time for the people who target churches to get a taste of that reality.”
