Christian Living: Articles About Military Service & War

Though war should always be the last resort, Scripture teaches that nations must act in a timely and decisive manner to stop evildoers. Grace Communion International supports the decision of members who join the military, and the decision of those who are conscientious objectors, as each individual must make their decision before God. We pray that God guide the leaders of free nations everywhere to the end that all people may live peaceable and quiet lives (1 Timothy 2:2). Here are articles from GCI that address topics related to military service and war.
