Reeder Custom Guns - Driving in Mozambique one day ...

I was giving a Mozambican Pastor a ride to his house. He got into my truck and we headed down the road. Looking around he spotted a good-size fixed blade knife that I had mounted on the console by the 4WD lever. It was handy when certain folks tried to reach in the window for something.

When he saw the knife he got a funny look on his face and said, "Papa Jim, Você tem uma faca!" (Papa Jim, you have a knife!)
I said, "Yes I do."
"But, you have Jesus." he replied.
"I have Jesus and a knife." I explained.

He never brought it up again.

like I tell them, "I also have two fire extinguishers, a spare tire, tire repair kit, 12v air pump, jumper cables and miscellaneous tools - and faith that Jesus will help me use any of them wisely should the need arise."

that was enough. The Bible does not tell us which carried them. I speculate it was Simon Peter and Simon the Zealot.

This didn’t happen
And you don’t trust in Jesus

Some folk have problems with that concept...

Among Jesus's apostles, there were two swords. Jesus said

The sword was for the healing miracle

Even Jesus said: if you don’t have a sword sell your cloak…

Shalt not lie
