Come to the Battlefield of Life

I know some avoid conflict at all cost. They consider it a problem, and peace more important. Yet, we don't actually win wars without it. Many of our Biblical heroes embraced it. Samson, David, Elijah, Elisha, John the Baptist . . . even the Lord engaged the enemy. They did not run from conflict. No, they stood their ground. They said or did what had to be done.

It takes warriors to fight battles, and we are at war for the heart of this nation. Do I advocate violence? No, not violence, but the conversation you're avoiding must be had. The truth must be shared. It will cause some to get angry, and some to leave you; but God will be honored and glorified.

So, the real question is: Is your peace more important to you than God? Whom would you please? If God, come to the battlefield. Come, be His light in this darkness. If not, then your peace is delusional. It will not last. It cannot, because true peace is from God, and He calls us to work in His fields.

Then saith He to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth laborers into His harvest." Mat 9:37, 38
