There is a war. There is strength to fight the war. That strength is found in the power of the Lord and the armor Jesus has fashioned from his person and work. Christians are called to do battle with the spiritual forces of this world. Behind every human battle there is a cosmic battle. But where the Gospel is the Kingdom of God moves forward in this world. God has given us the and dressed us in an armor and strength that can only come from him so that we might not only survive these battles but become more like Jesus in them.
