POLITICAL

The enemies of the church in the 21st century aren't national.  They aren't ethnic.  They aren't racial.  They aren't political.  We don't war against flesh and blood, but against rulers of this present darkness - against wickedness in heavenly places - against principalities and powers.

'We aren't at war as Christ-followers against Iraq.'

We aren't at war as Christ-followers against Iraq.  We are in a battle that belongs to the Lord - and it's won by us opening our mouths with truth and love and by stretching out our hands in compassion and service.

The great battle today isn't fought with swords or elections or picket signs, but with the Gospel of the crucified, risen Lord in the power of the Holy Spirit with words of truth and deeds of love, and all that backed by prayer . . . and then the victory will come.

It will.

And be blessed.
