"The nation that draws too great a distinction between its scholars and its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools." - Thucydides

God calls men to be smart and to take our masculine role as a sages seriously. He also calls men to be brave and to take our masculine role as a saviors seriously. We are to meditate on God's Word and mediate between the danger and the things we love.

We are not to be cowards or fools. We are called to be wise warriors, smart soldiers, academic assassins, lethal logicians and strong scholars.

Proverbs 24:5-6
A wise man is full of strength,
and a man of knowledge enhances his might,
for by wise guidance you can wage your war,
and in abundance of counselors there is victory.
