We are at war, the enemy isn’t at the gates, the enemy is
within our walls, as we are being overrun by their blitz tactics at every corner,
we are surrounded and our troops no longer possess the training to cover and
move, or hold fast to the honor code of leaving no one behind, no, we are no
longer training them, we are entertaining them, teaching them instead to no
longer call the enemy evil, we just dispute which of us has the better tactics
yet never leave the swivel chair.
We are at war, the graves of the fallen are spread throughout
the ages covering the globe, in our country, our communities and even our own
backyards. The spiritually wounded among us have no advocate, no one filling the
gap between the enemy and their souls, no one to tend their wounds, no one to
render aid and call for support.
We are at war, the enemy has infiltrated our communications,
spread misinformation, demoralized our troops, cut off support and is taking no
prisoners. The enemy has the high ground, we gave it to them.
We are at war, our children are abandoning our ranks to join
the other side, cowardly, we dismiss their defection as just a phase taking no ownership
of the procuring cause of their defection; our own hypocrisy We did not train them, we entertained them, our
idle laziness is evident in the emptiness of our places of training. We lost an
entire generation to the enemy by training them to be idolaters, by teaching
them to value what enemy values, now in our empty halls we blame the enemy for
our failed tactics and for those of us who are trained in the tactics, we blame
the enemy for us not executing them.
We are at war, the battle will soon be over, the bodies will
be counted, the only question is how much blood is on our hands? Here’s the
thing, all of it.
Joshua 5:13-15
