We, as the Church Militant must take up spiritual weapons to help arm our people against forces trying to take them away from Christ. So, this weekend We must be trained in the art of Spiritual Warfare by her who “comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, terrible as an army set in battle array” (Song 6:10). This weekend, we take that training so that we may proudly carry her banner and people can follow the way to her Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
