" A Soldier is summoned to a life of active duty and so is a Christian" ~ William Gurnall
My husband has joined the United States Army and will be attending boot camp in July. Those of you who read this blog regularly know that our marriage has been quite the adventure, and with my husbands wish to serve in the military I know the possibility of change will never change. I am more than thrilled for my husband because since he lost his job with the United States Border Patrol he has been longing for a more challenging career. The most exciting part about this new adventure is that we will see so many places , and in those places we can be "Active Duty" for Christ. Who knows how many people in different states and countries that we could give the gospel of Christ to. We are as Christians suppose to be on "Active Duty".  If you are not actively doing the Lord's work then what are you doing? A soldier in the military can lose their life at any time during deployment so he makes the best of the moments he has . A soldier in God's army can be taken home at any time as well. We are not promised tomorrow, so shouldn't we be taking every opportunity to reach lost souls? Are you being an "Active Duty"  Christian or simply an "It's my Duty" Christian? Be active, save souls with joy in your heart and serve God with your whole heart and mind , don't treat His command to us like a chore or a mere duty that must be accomplished.
