The Battle Still Rages
Read Ephesians 6:10-18
"Fight the good fight of faith." 1 Timothy 6:12
The world has changed drastically since my dad stood his
ground against the enemy in World War II. Back then, he and
his brave comrades fought against nations that were threatening
to destroy any country that dared stand in their way. Dad took a
bullet in the leg and suffered the painful effects of that injury
for the rest of his life.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the men and women who fought
in that war. Their bravery issued from a cause they believed in-
-a mission they were willing to die for. They understood that if
they did not go overseas, many people would lose their freedom,
or even their lives, under the rule of ruthless dictators. Thank-
fully, the battles of those years are behind us.
A different kind of battle still rages today--a battle that we
as Christ’s followers must fight every day (Ephesians 6:12).
Our enemy, the devil, continues to try to bring down our
faith, take over our hearts, and stop the spread of the gospel.
HE is called "the wicked one" (6:16), and he will always be
our enemy.
Are we willing to suffer for the cause? Are we brave enough to
be a faithful generation of believers? Let’s fight the good
fight!-JDB
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before!
Christ the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle see His banner go! -Baring-Gould

CHRIST’S SOLDIERS FIGHT BEST ON THEIR KNEES!
