Grappling With Divinity

“The appeal to and use of violence in Christian actions increase in exact proportion to the decrease in faith. Unbelief is the true root of the Christian championship of violence.”
~Jacques Ellul

Reflection:
Where might fear or unbelief be subtly shaping my responses, and how would deeper trust in God transform the way I face conflict or injustice?

Scripture:
“Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.” — Matthew 26:52 (NRSV)
