Make War

To be a Christian now, in the world’s eyes, is to not judge, to tolerate sin, to not only live among sinners, but to partake in the sin, without calling it out for what it is. Frankly, it’s gone too far. It’s time to fight back. The American church has bought into this “American Dream” wholeheartedly. Did Jesus Christ die on the cross so that we can continue in our sins? Was he completely separated from God, so that we can wear crosses, and put fish logos on our cars? He died to kill our sins. When he died on that cross, our sins were defeated. This should be enough to give us the passion we need to fight. We fight sin daily, because we know that he already beat it. It’s time to make war.

To be completely clear, I am not saying that our fight is against humans. It’s against the evil that has taken over. Ephesians 6:12 (ESV) reinforces this saying “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” We all have a war to fight together. The concept that Gender is fluid and can be switched out is a direct insult to our God. Does He make mistakes? No. You were born with the correct soul, and the correct body. To suggest otherwise is to spit on Jesus’ bloody face. It’s only going to get bigger from here. Christians are Christ’s bride on earth, and we must stand together on these issues. The division within the churches only helps the misconception of there being contradictions in God’s word.

While we fight this war together, that’s not the only thing we have to fight. We all have personal battles that we must fight day to day. Trying to hide it, and saying that everything is great and sunny, is only pushing off the inevitable. We have been redeemed through the blood of Jesus on the bloody cross because of God’s love. To hide our struggles from one another is ridiculous. We are one body, one church. We all struggle, and it’s time to fight. To be honest with you, I struggle with lust, pride, anger, and fear. What do you struggle with? Admit it, drag it into the light, and kill it.

Above all else, remember that wonderful sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross to reconcile us with God. Remember the blood soaked payment that bought you from your sins, that saved you from the darkness. Don’t fight this by yourself. It’s time to make war.
