What if we could take up arms in a war that's not politically-charged and media-hyped? What if we could put our energy into something useful? Something of value? What if we could carry weapons not to kill, but to change and love and correct? What if we could soldier in a conflict that made use of our generation's creativity and talent with no holds barred?
The problem isn't that we're trying to fight the war and losing. Oh, no, this war is already won. We know the future on this one. It's just a matter of time.
No, the problem is that we're not fighting. We are too complacent to care. We just want to go to work and come home and chill. Play some games, eat some food, and then hit the sack to prepare to do it again in the morning. This is wrong. This is sin. This needs help. We need help. You and I need help.
We're Americans, we're practically born into complacency. Doesn't matter if our parents are Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian, or Methodist, American Christians are neutered Christians, ashamed of Jesus to the point of not talking about Him outside of the "safe zone": Church. If we do talk about Jesus outside of church, we're so out of practice that it sounds fake; it's like we're just nuts talking about aliens. No one listens. Why? Because we don't live like Christ even existed.
See, Truth is, we are in a war. We're in many wars. I'm not talking about politics or government. I'm talking about the "real" world: our lives. Because in the end, even if our American freedoms are taken away from us, even if we lose to terrorist groups overseas or even in our homeland, the war that occurs in real life still exists and is being waged up until the day we die. We either follow Christ or we don't. People try to over-complicate this concept. I won't. It's a do or die type scenario. One that we can't afford to die on.
Listen, we don't want God to spit us out of His mouth for being lukewarm.
Christ should excite us, not just at concerts or revivals. "You were made to burn, and let the whole world see" -For Today-Breaker-Seraphim
Fight the Good Fight. Give God the Glory.
"If God is for us, than who can stand against us?"-Romans 8:31
We are in a war that is already won. Lets start fighting like Christ's sacrifice is real.
