And alas! there are not a few who, if they be Christians at all, certainly know but very little of that daily warfare to which the Captain of our salvation calleth his disciples. Now, there are many ways in which the Christian may to a great degree forget his marshal character. He must have weapons for his warfare - not carnal - but “mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.” He must not, I say, be content to live in the stronghold, though he be then well guarded, and munitions of stupendous strength his dwelling place may be but he must go forth to attack the castles of the enemy, and to pull them down, to drive the Canaanite out of the land. He must be able to say with David, “I come against thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel whom thou hast defied." He must wrestle not with flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers. He must be one who goes against his foes, as well as stands still to receive their advance. He will, however, be but a sorry Christian if he acteth only on the defensive. He will have to defend earnestly the faith once delivered to the saints he will have to resist the devil he will have to stand against all his wiles and having done all, still to stand. Part of his life will be occupied with defensive warfare. It is his destiny to be assaulted it is his duty to attack. LIKE the Spartans, every Christian is born a warrior. “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” - Ephesians 6:16
