The War Continues

“The guys that we lost, we remember them, and that’s what pretty much drives us every day, ” said Pfc. Samuel Rhodes, 25, of Albuquerque, N.M. “The day that they died, that totally broke my heart. It angered me. It made me want to fight twice as hard.” (MAYA ALLERUZZO, Associated Press Writer Mon May 28, 10:02 PM ET)

I hate this war! I pray for victory and peace. At the same time I cannot help but remember how much it is like the spiritual war in which God’s people are involved. The funeral I attended yesterday reminded me that death is the result of sin, and we need to fight harder than ever to share the redeeming grace of God. Would to God we were brokenhearted and angered by the victories of the enemy that rob so many of real life here and now, and for eternity.
