Weapons

"O God of earth and altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die; The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide; Take not Thy thunder from us, But take away our pride." - G.K. Chesterton, "O God of Earth and Altar"

Consider:
It is the source of:
Faith (Rom. 10:17)
Belief (John 20:31)
Hope (Rom. 15:4)
Comfort (Psalm 119:52)
Most importantly, it is the most powerful weaponry we have been given to initialize our freedom from sin (John 8:32) and recieve the Spirit (Gal. 3:2). It is the perfect weapon (Psalm 19:7), and our very spiritual lives depend on it (Deut. 32:46-47). As Luther put it, "my conscience is captive to the word of God...for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe.
