The Universe Is at War – Choose a Side

According to the Bible, our lives are lived in the midst of an invisible spiritual war. One of the most dangerous things we can do is simply to ignore this reality. We accept the Bible as true but we often live as though the battle existed on some far-off mission fi eld, not here in our city. The fact is, there is a battle raging over your city and it is affecting you right now. . . . Every one of us faces demonic forces in our local environment, but as Christians we are called to a bigger battle. We are contending for our whole generation. We are called to act locally but to think globally. ~ John Dawson. Taking Our Cities for God , pp. 27, 29. __________________________________________________________
