God, a Warrior, Created the War Horse!
The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name. Ex. 15:3 God created the hurricane, the war horse, & he created you too! "Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane? Do you make him leap like the locust? His majestic snorting is terrible. He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; he goes out to meet the weapons. He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; and he does not turn back from the sword. The quiver rattles against him, the flashing spear and javelin. With shaking and rage he races over the ground, and he does not stand still at the voice of the trumpet. As often as the trumpet sounds he says, 'Aha!' and he scents the battle from afar, and the thunder of the captains and the war cry. ” Job 39:19 Being a true warrior involves protecting the vulnerable while understanding duty, honor, courage, wisdom, and loyalty.

Find a Church that Preaches the Bible and march to battle with them. Find a church fiercely devoted to loving God & His people. “Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God…” Romans 11:22 “Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm: Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.” Job 40 "Can you pull in leviathan with a fishhook? If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the struggle and never do it again! Any hope of subduing him is false; the mere sight of him is overpowering. When he rises up, the mighty are terrified; they retreat before his thrashing. Nothing on earth is his equal— a creature without fear.” Job 41 “Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” 1 Corinthians 16:13 There is a balance between strength and humility; responsibility and love. 

You Either Live for God or Yourself
-Win or Lose. No one measures up to God’s goodness, perfection, or Burning Holiness. -Jesus came out of Eternal Richness to Become Poor so that through His Poverty we might be made Rich! (2 Cor 8:9, Eternal Richness). -We must elevate our view of God in a world where He is ridiculed and even worse, ignored. -A low view of God makes life, Jesus, God, the Bible, and the Gospel meaningless. -Dare to be a Daniel, Dare to stand alone, Dare to have a purpose firm, Dare to make it known! (Spiritual Hymn) -Though all the problems in heaven and earth were to confront us altogether and all at once, it would be nothing compared to the problem of God, Who He Is, and what we are to do about Him.
(from AW Tozer a true reality warrior in Knowledge of the Holy)

Christian Warriors Honoring God
How do we honor God in the midst of a secular pagan culture that worships everything but the one true God? We must expose and refute lies that are taught to adults and their children. Lies: “You must be concerned about your legacy.” “You do not have to fear God.” “Everything is relative” (and therefore not meaningful). “You evolved through a random chance process and therefore have no real meaning or purpose.” “Science has shown that God does not exist.” “Good and Evil do not exist.” “Right & Wrong do not exist.” “There are many ways to God.” Truths: “In the beginning God Created...” “Jesus is the Way, Truth & Life.” “From nothing—nothing comes.” “Life only comes from life.” “Consciousness only comes from Consciousness.” No primordial soup!

Loving and Teaching our Children?

I know many “good” men that lovingly train their children to be good athletes & students yet totally neglect that which is real. They give absolutely zero spiritual training. That which is real is that which is eternal and not short lived. Ask them or their children the simplest spiritual questions and they have no clue. It is one of the saddest things I have ever witnessed. We are told to tell our children daily that which is most important: “to Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, & strength”. What is one of the most important things about a man or woman? It may be what they think when they think about God or what they do not think... There are no words that describe God and no thoughts that contain Him.  HE IS!  HE IS BIG!                  PiRanch.com

Deny yourself, pick up your Cross, and follow Jesus.
Many Christians are so sorry that much of organized religion is preaching a false message. Warriors are desperately needed to stand in the gap and protect the Truth. We need warriors that desire to be fiercely devoted! Fiercely Devoted to God’s Truth! Fiercely Devoted to Righteousness! Fiercely Devoted to God! Fiercely devoted to God’s Word, the Bible, and NOT Fiercely Devoted to what we find in some churches today! There is no greater fight than the fight to be right with God, to bow a knee to His will, and to love your brethren. Some stand for truth while others settle for compromise. The cross is a brutal and powerful statement of God’s tremendous love in the midst of sinful/selfish people. Bow your knee to Jesus then raise His sword (The Bible)!                                              
                     (1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given)

Running the Race to Win: Great teams produce athletes that are conditioned, respected, powerful, & “dangerous”; a force to be reckoned with... They should also teach kindness, manners, wisdom, knowledge, discernment, and understanding. Young men have a need to be fierce and fiercely devoted. Too many young men today are bored and non-productive. What is truly admired in a man is his kindness and every true warrior knows when to be kind and loving, especially with family. A true warrior knows what to leave on the battlefield and what to bring home. The Spiritual truths we learn are ultimately the REAL TRUTHS we take into eternity. A true warrior knows there is a time and place for every event under the sun. Every real warrior willingly bows to the righteous King in quiet humility. Our Righteous King is Jesus, Son of Man & Son of God. As the President of AlumniFootballUSA always says, “Glory to God”!!!                                       PiRanch.com
