Satan won the last grand battle in the forever war, and both he and his children are still fighting — seeking to exterminate both the vestiges of Christendom and any hope of her resurrection. Christian men — supposedly Christian men — have largely abandoned the battlefield. Worse yet, Satan has convinced many that it would be wicked to take up the sword and defend Christ’s Kingdom against the amassed forces of Hell.

I do not know which god such men worship, but I know that it cannot be the Lord God, for Scripture tells us that the Lord God is a Man of war (Exodus 15:3) and frequently praises those men who defend the Word of God and His sheep — yes, with the sword when necessary.

In fact, Scripture goes beyond mere praise of the men who do their duty, for it says of those who neglect it:

“Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord with slackness, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from bloodshed.”
