Why a Sword?

Some wise person once said that the pen is mightier than the sword. So why call this blog The Theologian's Sword? Why not the Theologian's Pen (or pencil for that matter)? Well, for theologians and other spiritual pundits, their pen is their sword -- the words they use are their weapon. A weapon to instruct the novice, a weapon to defend the just, a weapon to combat heresy and error with the truth. Thus, it is fitting to name this little venture The Theologian's Sword, for it is all about words. Words to comment and construct, to chastise and connect. All with a spiritual focus, a focus that honors God and benefits both seekers and saints. So, thus, welcome to The Theologian's Sword.
