"In the book of Hebrews, we are told that the word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing the soul and laying bare all before the eyes of God (Heb. 4:12-13). Scripture is the weapon of truth that enables those who follow Jesus to disarm the powers by exposing their lies and deceit. Christians are not without defense, having been given God's word to shield us from our delusions that are the source of our violence."
(Dr. Stanley Hauerwas, Brazos Commentary on Matthew, pg. 109)
