To Live is to Fight

All over the world, there is fighting. There are wars, boxing, martial arts, wrestling, and life. To live is to fight. God made it that way. I fight to accomplish my goals. I fight against my flesh, the devil, and the world. On our way back from Sierra Leone, we had a layover in Paris, so we added a day and toured Paris and Normandy. The Normandy tour was very moving, as we saw the story of D-Day and the casualties of war. I can’t imagine what it was like to be a soldier storming the enemy on Omaha Beach with all that gunfire happening all around you. But one thing I am sure of is that each of those soldiers was not complacent or apathetic about their role and responsibility. I sometimes get lazy, complacent, and apathetic in my responsibility as a Christian, given the responsibility to build God’s church. I want to be full of fire and passion to conquer the kingdom of darkness and to accomplish as much with my life as is possible before I die.
