Most Christians really WANT to be Onward Christian Soldiers but the message of love and peace does not align in the human mind with warfare, which is equally taught in the Bible
We've prayed about it, lamented and waited and .. God forgive us if we're wrong .. no longer willing to wait and pray
Nehemia gathered up a troop of warriors and put them to work on the wall (politics) with a trowel in one hand and a and a spear in the other (warfare)
Very well put!
