Fighting is a part of life. We fight when we shouldn’t - in relationships, with neighbors, at work or school. We enjoy watching fights - UFC, political debates, and, of course, Real Housewives. And we fight because God tells us to fight - “Fight the good fight of the faith…” (I Tim. 6:12a) It is eternally important that we do not confuse these different types of fights. God’s command to fight comes with the assumption we fight like Jesus fights. We fight for the right things - our souls, true doctrine. We fight against the right things - sin, the devil, death. And we fight in the right way - faithfully, gently, lovingly.
This Sunday we will fight to worship God with all of our heart, mind, strength, and soul. We will sing to the God who we love. We will pray for God’s will. And we will hear the preaching of God’s Word. I can’t wait!
“Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” - 1 Timothy 6:12
- Pastor Curt
