Admonitions to War
The Bible is unashamedly filled with admonitions to war. (The next six readings have been adapted from, How to Win Souls and Influence People, by Ray Comfort [Bridge Logos publishers]) We are told to fight the good fight of faith. We have been sent as emissaries of peace to diplomatically plead with the ungodly to lay down their weapons. But in a world that hates its Creator, we are forced to precede the offer of peace with the threat of war. We must therefore mobilize as a mighty, militant, aggressive army, spearheading attacks through the power of prayer. We must ransack the barracks of Hell and penetrate the territories of the devil with the flag of righteousness and the trumpet of victory resounding. “Retreat” is not an option. If we fall back in battle, it is merely to muster forces and regain our spirit. We know that our strengths are the enemy’s weaknesses. He crumbles before the powers of holiness, righteousness, justice, virtue, morality, and truth. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
