Two Wars

There are only two wars that can be fought.
One that has already been lost in Eden and one that has already been won on Calvary.
One is morality and social order, and one is life and life eternal.
One is fought with voting booths and political leverage and the other is fought by surrendering.
One attempts to malign its enemies while the other attempts to love its enemies.
One is concerned with its own lifestyle while the other denies itself.
One looks to the founding fathers while the other looks to the Father God.
One looks to preserve personal wealth while the other forsakes all.
One looks to have a voice in the affairs of this world while the other looks to give a voice in the affairs of the gospel.
One demands its rights while the other submits to God's sovereignty.
One organizes in the board room while the other meets in the prayer closet.
One treasures earthly freedom while the other rejoices in spiritual freedom in Christ.
One seeks victory every four years while the other dies daily.
One enlists soldiers from all religions while the other only enlists those who vow allegiance to Jesus Christ.
One uses conservative sheep and goats while the other only uses sheep.

In which "war" are you enlisted?
It cannot be both.
