Many parents teach their children that, “fighting never solves anything”; but that always seemed a bit narrow to me. A child could easily, and understandably interpret that to mean that there was never a time to fight, and from my perspective, that is not true. Though I’ve taught my kids that fighting is almost never the answer, I’ve balanced that with the understanding that there are times when it is absolutely necessary to take a stand. As my son now stands at the threshold of military service, I offer this context for the battle that lies ahead.
Our battle is not with flesh and blood
But with the spiritual forces of darkness
We do not fight to show ourselves strong
We fight in order to defend the weak
We do not fight to enslave our adversaries
We fight so that all men can be free
We do not fight to obtain what does not belong to us
We fight to preserve our God given rights
We do not fight because we hate our enemies
We fight to protect the one’s we love
