The Reality of a War

For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Colossians 1:13-14 (New American Standard Bible)

--------------------------------------------

What if they gave a war and no one came?
Then the war will come to you!
He who stays home when the fight begins
And lets others fight for his cause
Should take care: He who does not take part
In the battle will share in the defeat.
Even avoiding battle does not avoid
Battle, since not to fight for your own cause
Really means fighting on behalf of your enemy's cause.

Bertolt Brecht, as printed in March 9, 1984, National Review magazine.

-----------------------------------------------

A spiritual war is taking place (2 Corinthians 10:3-6); you are the target (1 Peter 5:8); stand firm against the Enemy (Ephesians 6). "What if they gave a war and no one came? Then the war will come to you!"
