FACTS TO FACE IN THE FIGHT
Robert Walker
EPHESIANS 6:10
INTRODUCTION
1. There is a story of a military officer stationed in
Korea. She was in the Army 2nd infantry and the
division she was in had an unofficial motto: “Fit to

2. She said that the aviation battalion changed theirs
to “Fit for Flight.” And the band’s was “Fit to
Delight.” She said the best one though was the sign
posted in the dentist office: “Fit to bite.” We need

3. There was once a boxer who was being pummeled in

bloody, painful scars of this conflict: war among
nations, shattered lives, broken homes, suicide, rape,
abuse, and immorality of every kind.

to General Washington. But when he stood before those
men, he looked up & down the ranks. Then he said,
"Gentlemen, I have great pride & faith in the men from
Connecticut." This young soldier, when he wrote home
told his mom & dad, "I ...
