Choosing Sides

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
(Eph 6:10-13)

Choose your friends carefully, because on the basis of your friendships, your enemies will choose you.

It's not just the friends you choose, though. It's every choice you make. If you choose red meat, vegans will hate you and brand you a murderer.

If you choose to defend your daughter's (sister's/mother's) sexual purity, then the feminists will ascribe incestuous motives to you.

Most of all, if you choose Christ as your Saviour, Lord and King, all the forces of wickedness up to and including Satan himself will array themselves against you. Even now, as they continue in their slide toward the fiery pit, they snarl and sneer and lash out against God's elect.

Most of you I do not know well, if at all. But if you have chosen to follow the posts on WARSKYL for the right reasons, we probably could be friends. And if our choices define us . . . if our friends and our enemies define us, then I think we have chosen well.

Disagreeing with me it one thing. Openly advocating immorality -- in the name of Scripture, no less -- is quite another.

For that reason I have deleted the foregoing comment.
