The scenario is a year in the lives of four New Soldiers in the Army of God. It is a metaphor for Christian life today."

The analogy that Christians are supposed to be warriors for the Kingdom of God is not new. I do not believe our local churches are supposed to be luxurious day-camps for pampering self-indulgent babies, rather, I believe new believers should hit the ground running, learning about spiritual warfare from the outset ... and even with our own mistakes, hurts, frequent breakdowns, we are destined to win others who are caught in the darkness of sin and point them to the light and salvation offered by Jesus Christ. The "militant church" is a favorite theme of mine.
