Ancient Wisdom for Modern Warriors

“David proved that with modest tools, a fighting spirit, and faith, we can accomplish what seems impossible. But only if we have the courage to try in the first place! Moreover, Christ was ferocious towards Satan and compassionate to the downtrodden. This balance is paramount for any society to last and flourish. If we forget our martial roots, we are helpless to the barbarians at the gates: mere sitting ducks. Should we forget our compassion for the vulnerable, we become barbarians!” – Scripture and the Sword
