In Proverbs 25:26 we read that "A righteous man who
falters before the wicked is like a murky spring and a polluted well."
Certainly, we would be faltering before the wicked if we chose to be unarmed
and unable to resist an assailant who might be threatening our life. In other
words, we have no right to hand over our life which is a gift from God to the
unrighteous. It is a serious mistake to equate a civilized society with one in
which the decent people are doormats for the evil to trample on.
