GOSPEL TALKS
Christian Worfare

Fight the good fight of faith, lay
hold on eternal life."--l Tim. 6:12.
Some persist in thinking of tn,
Christian life as 'flowery bed O
ease" They believe that once a pro
fession of faith is made and their
name is entered on the church roll
that their work is all done and their
battles are all won.
But the Bible describes the Christ
ian life as one of constant warfare. It
pictures the way as narrow and rigid.
Cross bearing is demanded of fol-
lowers of Christ. They are admonish-
ed to watch and pray without ceas-
ing for they are facing a formidable
enemy. They are told to flee temp
tation and sin and to put on the
whole armor of God, that We may be
able to stand against the wiles Of
the devil."--Eph. GIL. They are en-
listed in the army of the King of
Kings and must endure hardness as
good soldiers of Jesus Christ.--2 Tim.
20: They must flight the good fight
of faith"
The encouraging thing in this pic
ture OF struggle against the mastery
OF sin, is the fact that the Christian
warfare is not fought alone. Streng-
thening him constantly and with
him IN every battle is his all-power-
full Commander. He has said, "All
power is given unto me in Heaven
and earth--Lo. am with you al
ways."--Matt. 28:18-20. He assures
us, Il will never leave thee. nor for
