"Blessed be the Lord, my rock who trains my hands for battle, my fingers for war." Psalm 144
St. Paul tells us, "Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactic of the Devil. For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of the present darkness, with the evil spirits.."
C.S. Lewis states this, "there is no neutral ground in the universe; every square inch, every split second, is claimed by God and counter claimed by Satan."
Archbishop Chaput of Denver continues, "And this war goes on without rest in every age, in every nation, in every human life, in every choice, in every decision, in every action, in every public issue. We can choose our side. We can't choose not to choose. Not choosing is a choice."
Put on the armor of God and be not afraid to enter the battle for goodness is worth fighting for, this is what Jesus shows us on the cross.
