Religion & Spirituality
The Bible declares God is warring to reclaim his world from opposing cosmic forces. Jesus Christ’s cross marks God’s ‘D-Day invasion’ securing a beachhead in enemy-0ccupied territory. Believers are co-opted into this combat. Neutrality is not an option; we’re on one side or the other. We don’t fight ‘flesh & blood,’ humans—they’re merely ‘pawns,’ proxies. Some assert the ‘powers’ inhabit earthly institutions, corporations, & social structures; but our opponents are heavenly, spiritual. There’s an ‘air war’ against ‘rulers & authorities,’ plus a ‘ground war’ against the ‘evil cosmic power alliance’ of Sin, Death, & the Flesh. ‘Sin,’ like a wild animal, needs subduing; ‘Flesh’ highlights our vulnerabilities. Yet, God supplies his mighty strength & his full armor. We align with God by applying Christ’s victory & offering our whole being to God. Let’s fight the good fight!
