Bible Question: What does this mean? Should we christain look at everything like it is war time? |
Bible Answer: I take it that we are to constantly be in battle for Him. It is a fight against this world. Every day when we wake, we enter the battlefield. More and more, in this country, the Bible is being ignored, excuses made to go against it - by even our judges and politicians. We have to fight for the truth. That doesn't mean to always be doom and gloom - because the battle is already won, we know how it ends. And there is so much in this world that is wonderful and good - babies, children, music, nature. Praise Him, but always be ready and on your guard, to share Him, and to show He is real. |
