Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. - Romans 5

Sword of Truth (not the fantasy series)

We are not called to swing the sword of Truth wildly, cutting both friend and foe in our reckless flailing. Instead we are to use it like Kenshin used it, "A sword is a tool to save people with." Let us use the Truth to save people.

We also need to remember who to point it at. It is not a tool to point at our brothers and sisters and friend, nor is it really to point at our enemies (I am thinking of ISIS right now), but it is a weapon forged by heavenly hands to be pointed at the Enemy and the World he rules as its prince. Another quote pops up in my head, "remember who the real enemy is" (Catching Fire).
