What troubles me too is how the rhetoric of war and violence is used when preaching about the Good News. When I am told that I should consider myself a "soldier" of Christ, I deny that label. Christians need to be very careful about what they think about nonbelievers, as well as who a "real" Christian is, and how they should act, regardless of whether or not they think their actions are justifiable as they interpret scripture as endorsing hatred and violence.

It's not about weakness but allowing God to work in and through our lives. Praise the Lord!
