Military Chaplain Attacked by Atheist Group; Speak Up on His Behalf!
 

Like most of us, Army Senior Chaplain (Colonel) Moon Kim wanted
perspective on what God is doing through the worldwide Coronavirus
pandemic. As a retired Army Chaplain (Colonel), I applaud Chaplain
Kim's desire to reflect on this critical issue.

Chaplain Kim, who is command chaplain of U.S. Army Garrison Camp
Humphreys in South Korea, found help in John Piper's recent free
book, Coronavirus and Christ, and he thought others under his
influence at the nation's largest foreign base might find in its
pages the same value he discovered.

So he chose to share it via email with about 35 other chaplains
- and in doing so inflamed the ire of the Military Religious
Freedom Foundation (MRFF). If you're not familiar with the
group, the MRFF functions in much the same way as the better-known and
much larger (but no less concerning) Freedom From Religion Foundation.

Mikey Weinstein, MRFF's atheist founder, works to jeopardize
the religious freedom of our military personnel - and then
threatens to take legal action if their demands are not met. In this
case, Weinstein is calling on Secretary of Defense Mark Esper to
punish Colonel Kim severely, including making him subject to
court-martial.

In case you haven't read it, Piper's book asks readers to
consider that God has a purpose and a direction in all that has
happened across the globe in the Coronavirus pandemic, affecting both
believers and non-believers.  Rather than giving a specific
answer to why, Piper lays out a number of avenues of biblical thought
on God's purposes with the pandemic, including His response to
sin in our world. Piper specifically identifies homosexuality as one
of those sins.

It was for this reason that the MRFF has singled out Chaplain Kim for
punitive action. In so doing, the MRFF is leading us down a dangerous
path where we limit the ability of chaplains to speak freely or share
information about specific sins, even in the context of the good news
of the Gospel.

Chaplain Kim needs our support, and you can help today!

Please send a message to Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, asking him
to support Chaplain (Colonel) Kim and to let chaplains be chaplains as
they serve those who protect our nation. It only takes a moment in our
