Realities of War

Countless families send their loved ones off to war. They hope and pray for divine protection; a safe distance from the front lines and a speedy return home. We tend to forget the realities of war until we’re personally affected.

War separates families; war kills.

Each Memorial Day we remember those who lost their lives in foreign wars.

Another war rages. The battle continues between good and evil and the faithful continue to fight on the front lines. Are you among those serving in active duty? God is looking for willing recruits.

“The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful people who will be able to teach others also. Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him (2 Timothy 2:3-4 NASB).”

You can please the Father.

The Lord’s Army (Public Domain)

‘I may never march in the infantry, Ride in the cavalry, Shoot the artillery.
I may never fly o’er the enemy, But I’m in the Lord’s army. (yes, sir!)
I’m in the Lord’s army, (yes, sir!) I’m in the Lord’s army, (yes, sir!)
I may never march in the infantry, Ride in the Calvary, Shoot the artillery.
I may never fly o’er the enemy, But I’m in the Lord’s army. (yes, sir!)’
