The War Where No Dragon Flies: Five Overlooked Vices that Will Destroy Us

“This is not dawn from the east, no dragon flies here, the gables of the halls are not burning, but men are making an attack.”—the Finnesburh Fragment

In this hard-hitting talk, Wesley Strackbein discusses five existential threats that will destroy a Christian’s witness and family if left uneradicated: (1) Lust; (2) Peace with the World and a Passive Toleration of Idolatry; (3) The Failure of Family Discipleship; (4) Pride; and (5) Discontentment and Ingratitude. While you won’t likely hear these vices discussed on Fox News or by conservative politicos, our unawareness of or attempts to minimize these dire threats do nothing to lessen their severity. Emphasizing that even good men can fall prey to these sins, Wesley urges believers to give them the “Black Flag — no quarter to the violators of our homes and firesides!”
