From beginning to end, the Bible is a book describing a war. We live in this present evil age, ruled by the devil, looking forward to the age to come, and to eternity beyond that. It's a war zone. We are soldiers in a spiritual war. While we all, as Christians, consent to the truth that we are soldiers, we need to come to the awareness we are not weekend warriors. We are not reservists who may or may not be called into active duty. And there is no term to our tour of duty; we are lifers in the Lord's army.

Matthew 28:18-20, Matthew 12:26-29 & Luke 10:18-20 – The Commission Is Our Mission
Is the best offense a good defense? Or is the best defense a good offense? So far we’ve talked about our part in spiritual warfare as mostly mounting a good defense. Taking a stand, resisting, things like that. Truth is, we are always to be on the offensive – but maybe not the way you think. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)
