This month God’s Army is getting ready to receive their SECRET SERVICE Christians back. These CEO Christians make their Religious Pilgrimage back twice a year for the obligatory CHRISTMAS EASTER ONLY services.
Unfortunately, God pruned off this SECRET SERVICE branch. Instead, he is calling all of us to be “good soldiers of Christ Jesus”.
2 Timothy 2:1–4 (ESV) — 1 You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, 2 and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also. 3 Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.
So, if I understand the Apostle Paul correctly,
A GOOD SOLDIER …
• is strengthened by God’s grace
• passes on the good news
• shares in Christ’s suffering
• does not get entangled in civilian pursuits
• aims to please Jesus Christ
Friend, are you a GOOD SOLDIER? God is asking: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Will you answer, “Here I am! Send me” (Isaiah 6:8)?
