I remember learning about wars as a kid. Like most boys, I tended to think in terms of good guys and bad guys. The World Wars were easy. Actually, just about every war we've been involved in has been easy if you consider America part of the good guys.
But what about conflicts where we don't have direct involvement? For example, what do we do about the conflicts in the Middle East? John Piper wrote this excellent article two years ago to help put some Biblical truth around this conflict.
It comes down to a matter of how we view the nation of Israel in the light of Biblical truth. It seems clear that they have a special place in God's plan. But to assume that this secular nation should enjoy the same protection as King David's seems absurd. There really are no good guys here. It would sure be a lot easier if Israel would recognize the Messiah that came from them...
