Touchpoint: The whole armor of God; image of a man in old-fashioned armor

War No More

“When the temptations come, we may want to draw the sword of warfare, but let’s remember the words Jesus said to Peter when he struck the soldier who threatened Jesus: “Put your sword away, shall I not drink the cup?” Our sword is not the weapon of warfare, but the Word of God which declares us to be people of peace, with armor used to protect our inner truth and protect ourselves from embarking on an unfortunate spiritual insurrection… and doing it in the name of Jesus.”

I can tell you that as a preacher, my words have not neglected them. My actions are what I would prefer to think about.”
