"...Short days ago we lived, felt dawn, saw
sunset glow,..."
Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae
As Christians, we are expected to keep the peace; however, we are often called to fight against the evil foes that may overtake us. Whether Hitler, the Al Qaeda, ISIS, communism, etc., we must war against the wrong. This is what makes Canada weak. My country is on a "toleration" agenda; we must try to please all people, because we are a "free country." On the other hand, the United States still generally recognizes its very Christian roots and is hated by the world, because they dare to face up to the enemy (aka, Satan in all those forms mentioned above + more).
All these "dead" fought for not only our freedom from those who try to take over the world, but also against the devil who is constantly "seeking to devour us." We cannot let that happen ever. We are called to fight the good fight, physically and spiritually.
There is so much more to say about the good fight; apparently we hate, because we dislike what God has commanded us to dislike. Apparently we should let evil men rule the world, because war is terrible (what's worse??!!). This is a sad, fallen world that we live in today. All because of one little fruit that Eve ate in the Garden of Eden.
For those of you who asked, I've been working on the Reformation Day post - it's been taking a bit longer due to the lack of inspirational words. I'm hoping to get it out soon.
