The idea of being a soldier of Christ might be familiar to most Christians because of songs we know or scriptures like Ephesians 6 and the armor of God. In 2 Timothy 2:3-4, Paul tells Timothy to be a good soldier and not let "civilian pursuits" distract him as a soldier. There are so many "civilian pursuits" that can distract us, but let's be good soldiers, support our fellow soldiers in battle and not let these earthly things take attention away from our service to God.
