...our struggle is not against flesh and blood… Ephesians 6:12
Osama Bin Laden is not our enemy.
Nancy Pelosi is not our enemy.
John Boehner is not our enemy.
The war on terror is not our fight.
Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is not our fight.
Our fight is not against abortion doctors.
Or the those with a radical gay agenda.
Or terrorists.
Or socialists.
Or Wall Street Execs.
We do have a fight. But if it ever leads us to hate someone made of flesh and blood, then we have picked our own fight. If it leads us to hurt another, then we have committed war crimes.
How to pick your fight:
…but [our fight is] against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms… Ephesians 6:12 (cont’d)
This Advent, may we have the wisdom to pick our fights, and the patience to wait on God for the rest.
Maranatha.
