Onward Christian Soldier (8 of 12)
Series: Unstoppable
Joey Rodgers
Acts 12:1-19
In 1865, on Whit Monday, a holiday 7 weeks after Easter, the children of Sabine Baring-Gould's Sunday school were invited to walk in a parade in Yorkshire, England. Baring-Gould thought the children should have a song to sing as they marched carrying their crosses/banners - only he couldn't find an appropriate song. So the night prior, he wrote a song for that's still being sung today.
Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war, w/ the cross of Jesus, going on before. Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe; forward into battle, see his banners go.
At the sign of triumph, Satan's host doth flee; on then, Christian soldiers, on to victory! Hell's foundations quiver, at the shout of praise; brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
Like a mighty army moves the church of God; brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod. We are not divided, all one body we, one in hope and doctrine, one in charity.
Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane, but the church of Jesus constant will remain. Gates of hell can never 'gainst that church prevail; we have Christ's own promise, and that cannot fail.
Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng, blend w/ours your voices in the triumph song. Glory, laud, and honor unto Christ the King, this through countless ages men/angels sing.
On a day when we're celebrating our veterans, we're being reminded not just of their service/sacrifice to our nation, but also of the spiritual battle being waged in our land today. It is a battle for life - for decency - for truth - and for eternity.
You therefore, endure hardship, as a good soldier of Christ.
2 Timothy 2:3
Last Sunday, our nation, and our brothers/sisters in Christ in Sutherland Springs, TX, experienced an awful tragedy that reminds us of what we're fighting for as a nation and as followers of Jesus Christ.
