Are Christians today preparing for a battle they are too afraid to fight? Is it that no one has taught Christians how to fight, or have they never been led onto the battlefield? Christians are called warriors, our purpose is to prepare for battle against the evil one and then actually go into battle. Yet all we see in most churches are spiritual soldiers with shiny armor. The mark of a noble warrior is the scars and damaged armor they bear, shiny armor is a mark of inaction. In battle soldiers are motivated by those that have already fought. Are we missing the battle, are we lacking war proven warriors in the midst of our churches? We are not to protect, but to equip and lead others into battle. Is it that most Christians prefer to be spectators while a few Christians fight? I pray that we would no longer sit with shiny armor but stand and fight as courageous war proven warriors for God’s kingdom!
