A Comrade Has Fallen
“God’s soldiers do not abandon their dead and wounded on the battlefield.”

Yesterday, our Church Mission Statement and motto for the year was unveiled; “SHARE, SERVE, SEND!” A condensed version of the Great Commission, Matthew 28:19, Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. The ministry team did such a beautiful job of laying out the vision of “SHARE, SERVE, SEND,” but one line from Pastor Chipman caught my attention. “When you committed your life to God, you signed up to be a soldier in His Army.” This quote went along with last week’s message about being on the offensive and storming the Gates of Hell. We are in a fight for souls and we cannot passively sit by or we will lose ground. The Church is not just DEFENDING territory we are marching forth to CONQUER and POSSESS territory. THIS IS WAR!!!
