“I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war!” the ancient psalmist writes. Men have been fighting (and killing) each other since the dawn of time; and there’s no indication things will change anytime soon, even as good men strive for peace. Should we seek peace? Absolutely! As a Christian I agree with the biblical mandate, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” But, in the event you are not able to live in peace and find yourself in a gunfight are you prepared to win?
