Christian Pacifism Quotes

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies – in the final sense – a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.”5               President Eisenhower proposed that savings from arms be funneled into world needs.”

“Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance.”9 This is why nothing less than pacifism will do. No matter how good or noble or honorable are the “ends” we strive for, if the “means” embody evil methods then we have furthered the wrong cause over the long run.”

“The words of the Lord hurt and offend until there is nothing left to hurt or offend. Jesus Christ has no tenderness whatever toward anything that is ultimately going to ruin a man in the service of God. Our Lord’s answers are not based on caprice, but on the knowledge of what is in a man. If the Spirit of God brings to your mind a word of the Lord that hurts you, you may be sure that there is something He wants to hurt to death.5”
