First the Holy Land then the World
Pacifistic Christians are like lambs who are coerced by the lion to drop their guard and lie down in a false peace, only to be DEVOURED. One reason this happens is because too many Christians wrongly believe that to manifest God's love they must be weak, pacifistic and unoffensive. While in reality, God's love is an active, aggressive force that will inevitably clash with sin, both in us and around us. True peace can only be obtained as a result of the power of God conquering the works of evil. The love of God is what motivates the true Christian to war against Satan for the souls of men. The "peace" which apathetic, pacifistic Christians claim to have is a deception, a false peace, which comes as a result of making a treaty with the enemy. This false peace allows Christians to live after their own desires as multitudes of souls pour into Hell. True love will motivate us to action, it will motivate us to lay down our lives, pick up our cross and follow the Crucified One.
