Question of the day: How is the word more powerful on the minds of the people than the sword?
The word can affect the heart and the mind. Through the word one can feel the Love of God, which truly changes people. Whereas, the sword is used to create pain and ultimately instill fear. While these are motivators, their affect is on a single person. When one is affected by the Love of God, that person in turn will desire to share that with others. In other words love spreads well from person, to family, to community, to nation, while fear remains fairly well contained to a few individuals. The word brings love to all.
