Spiritual Warfare

The Apostle Paul often uses the imagery of war (amour, battles, tactics) when urging his Christian friends to be well prepared and equipped. And thus we have developed the term “spiritual warfare”  But as Paul goes on to explain the real battle we are in, we suddenly discover this “war” is not like any other war we know of. The spiritual battle God is calling us to is very different than any other kind of conflict in our world. Most importantly, we must be careful we don’t find ourselves fighting the wrong enemy. Or perhaps even “fighting” at all.
