Professional Christianity
(ed note: The writing of this piece pre-dates Michael Spencer's horrible cancer diagnosis. In retrospect, it is easy to see it coming on the piece that underlies what is below. Please keep Michael in your prayers and if you have some spare change, hit his Paypal button.)iMonk wrote on how tired he was in ministry complete with a discussion of spiritual warfare, and he used the poster at left here to illustrate. I am annoyed. Not because Spencer should not be tired or upset, but because we all should be.
Spiritual warfare is quite different than the earthly analog. We are all in the army and we all should be fighting equally as hard for the victory.
Not all of us are infantry with a rifle, but we are all soldiers. When we give and they go, well, we are denying our role as soldiers. God has called us to more.
