(I John 2)

If you are a Christian it is because you heard the call of the gospel, believed it, and volunteered to follow Jesus. We have been called into active duty as soldiers, disciples, and servants, and shown how to prepare ourselves to fight against the enemy, the devil!

Those outside of Christ have already surrendered to Satan to do His will, and will spend eternity with Him. Will you serve willingly in Christ’s army, fighting against temptation and sin and spiritual wickedness? Now is the time to begin!
