While military war rages in Iraq and elsewhere in the world, what some refer to as a “culture war” rages within our own borders. Perhaps a more fitting description would be “spiritual warfare.” The forces of darkness are in constant conflict with the forces of light. Step by step we see our country, once founded upon Judeo-Christian principles, retreating and flying the flag of surrender to the enemy of our souls. God is no longer tolerated in our schools and government institutions. For a politician to take a biblical stand on many moral issues is commit political suicide. One example: In different places parents are not allowed to keep their children from attending lectures that promote homosexuality in public schools.

The shameful thing is that few “Christians” are willing to take a stand lest they be called intolerant. In such a war there will be many casualties—the souls of men and women, and even more tragic—our children and grandchildren. Christians, “Fight the good fight of faith” (1 Tim. 6:12a), for our warfare is with the evil powers of this age.
