The Two Swords

We live life in communities comprised of many families but for the success of the whole we select some to take control. The laws they make we all agree are essential to keep us free. The ones who our laws enforce are those who wield the civil sword. The churches in communities comprised of many families are governed by the laws of God recorded in His Holy Word. The members of the church agree God’s laws exist to keep them free. The ones who do these laws enforce hold in their hands the Spirit’s sword. The church and state each play a role to make civil society whole. When each one stays within its crease Society enjoys lasting peace. Separation of church and state is a prime American trait. It serves to keep religion free from interference by the state. When churches try to use the state to enforce laws that they dictate society becomes traumatized by the strivings that soon arise. The way to help the culture change is to proclaim God’s message strange. The foolishness of God’s pure Word makes man’s wise words sound so absurd. Christians, let’s keep these swords apart let us not from God’s Word depart. Give Caesar what to him belongs, leave it to God to right all wrongs.
