Call to Arms.

You are a soldier in Iraq. You just fell asleep, and all of the sudden, you hear gunshots ring out in the night. What happened? Is there an attack? What is going on? A fellow soldier tosses you your gun, and helmet. He points at your boots, and tells you to get dressed. You put on your pants, and boots, tightening your laces, and belt as you go. You have to hurry, or all will be lost. You put your shirt on, and your helmet. Your friend helps with the Kevlar, and hands you your gun. You take cover under fire behind a brick wall. This is a call to Arms.

So, what does this have to do with anything? This is merely a modern day rendition of the Armor of God, featured in Ephesians 6:10-21. And we, as Christians have fallen asleep. This is a call to arms. Take up your Bibles, get down on your knees, and pray for our nation. I am a proud American, and I weep for what our nation has become. We have a few guards (pillars of our faith today) watching for bad guys, and that is not enough. Is war fought by ten percent of the army? No. War, in one way or another is fought be hundreds of thousands. Everyone contributes. Whether you be a cook, a medic, the guy who cleans the latrines, or a general. We all have to contribute. This is no hug fest we are in people. Christians need to stand up, take a stand for what we believe in, before we lose our nation, and later our world. We have other countries sending us missionaries. Before we can move through the world in confidence, we need to bring our own nation back to God.

This is a Call to Arms. We are in war. We need to take aggressive action against the enemy, and we need to attack him on all fronts. How can we do this? Frankly, we need to show this nation, through our actions, and through our words, that we are still here, and we are still going to fight for the morality of our country. We need prayer warriors, we need leaders in the church who will be willing to unite, we need soldiers. People willing to die for the Cross, on which Christ died for us. We need to learn something from our enemy. The best defense is a good offense. I am tired of defending my faith. It is time to launch a counter offensive action. Instead of only defending our faith, ATTACK THEIRS. God does not need us to defend him, but he will help us attack. Stand up! Fight the enemy at every turn! Don't let him take one inch of ground! Retreat, surrender, and compromise are not an option. If we have God on our side, who can stand against us!

Now, I am not saying break out your rifle and start shooting. I am saying grab your bible, and start praying. I am saying that we need to contact our legislators in force, and tell them to outlaw abortion, outlaw sex on TV, outlaw pornography, period. We need to contact them in force, and tell them that we want the Ten Commandments on the lawn of our courthouse. We need to remind them of who our founding fathers were, other than people good for the occasion quote. The call has sounded. Who will heed it. I sure am.

God's will will never take you where his grace cannot cover you.
