In a country divided and confused, it is often considered, adding fuel to the fire to bring up something such as our second amendment rights. There seems to be a huge disconnect between logical thinking and controlled thinking. Logical thinking, reveals that God himself gave man the right to defend himself, his property, and his family. Logical thinking is what occurred when the founding fathers took the principles that God had given man and place them into a document that would hold them as guidelines and God-given rights for our country. The things that are happening in Aurora, Colorado and other places across our country should remind us of the great need for a citizenry bearing arms. Without that we are simply left without recourse in many situations. So logically thinking we do not want to be in a position where our lives, our homes, and our families are left to the whims of our fractured and self-centered government .

Control thinking tells you that guns are the problem. And that the second amendment can be changed to fit what the all knowing government believes. We are limiting free speech to quill pens. We should not be limiting the right to Bear arms to muskets. Sure, I know that we have not yet made that move, but we have systematically been conditioned to believe that automatic, firearms and certain components of other firearms violate the right to bear arms. This didn’t happen in a moment, but rather it happened overtime as the government and the media pull on your heartstrings using our children. The same government, mind you, that allows the slaughter of innocent children in the womb on a daily basis tells us that it is our moral duty to ban firearms in certain capacities and configurations for the sake of our babies. What hypocrisy! What absolute godless brainwash.

As a summarize the thought processes dominate our culture, or the lack there of I should say… Let me remind you that Venezuelan gangs have taken over multiple apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado, USA with very little, if any resistance. Law enforcement has done very little. The government has done nothing. Except the state of Colorado has passed some of the most liberal anti-constitutional gun control bills in the country. They have disarmed the populous, the people! You know the ones our founding fathers found it necessary to protect the right to bear arms for. But, of course our weak and brainwash government knows best. Carry On!

“Front sight, front sight, front sight” This phrase should be present in any entry level handgun class. In every class I have ever been a part of instructing this phrase was prevalent simply because front sight focus is essential to accuracy. To be an accurate handgun shooter we must align the rear sights but blur them as we focus on the front sights. Just as a handgun shooter must focus intently on the front sight to hit their target, a believer must fix their eyes on Christ to walk faithfully in a world full of distractions. The Bible provides strong support for this concept:

1. Setting Our Focus on Christ

Colossians 3:1-2 says:

“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”

Just as the shooter blurs out the rear sights and background to focus on the front sight, believers must blur the distractions of the world and set their hearts and minds on heavenly things.

2. Running the Race with Focus

Hebrews 12:1-2 encourages us to stay focused on Jesus:

“Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.”

In the same way a shooter must block out external distractions to remain accurate, we must continually fix our spiritual sight on Jesus to walk in victory.

3. The Danger of Losing Focus

When Peter walked on water toward Jesus in Matthew 14:28-30, he began to sink as soon as he shifted his focus to the storm instead of Christ. This illustrates the importance of staying locked onto our “front sight”—the Lord Jesus Christ.

4. Practical Application

• Eliminate distractions: Just as a shooter practices focusing on the front sight, believers must develop spiritual disciplines like prayer, Bible reading, and worship to keep their eyes on Christ.

• Trust the process: The rear sights (like life’s circumstances or challenges) play a role but must fade into the background as we trust God to guide our steps.

By “blurring the world and looking up,” we can remain spiritually accurate, faithful, and steadfast, living with eternal purpose and hitting the “target” of God’s will for our lives. Keep your focus on Christ—the ultimate front sight!
