Fight the good [?] of faiths
The Christian Soldier –
There are many valuable lessons to be learned from wars and conflicts.
With all of their horrors and suffering and attendant evils there is no other human experience that affords a great opportunity to learn God’s way in disciplining His people so that they might win a victorious life.
There is a similarity between the human warfare and the spiritual warfare.
So as we note the varying details necessary to the waging of a war, organizing troops and preparing them for battle. As we notice the soldier his weapons his loyalty to his country
his spirit of sacrificing even his life for a cause. We can see also the reason why so many scriptures[?] passages refer to the spiritual life as a war, and Christians as soldiers.
Then as Christian soldiers we are to learn that we too – like the soldiers – saints in all these glorious wars must conquer tho[?] we die.”
Be always on Guard.
I One of the first lessons we must learn is: the type of enemy we are to face. Our men are facing this tricky and fanatical[?] Japanese in the Pacific.
We failed when they first attacked us because we were not on our guard. The result was we lost nearly our whole mid Pacific fleet when Pearl Harbor was attacked. We have never known positively how many lives were lost.
Eternal vigilance is necessary for the Christian soldiers. Be watchful is the admonition through out. So let the words of the poet be like Christian
Solders constant prayer
My soul Be on thy guard
Not flesh & blood Eph 6:12
