Armed and Ready

The Crusades are often disparaged as one of the pinnacles of human error and religious indecency. I think that such opinions are right, but not for the reasons that most give. As we see today, the church has always been called upon to fight and be a church “militant.” But we are never called upon to take up the sword for the faith, but rather to be willing to suffer under it. Today Peter calls upon us to be armed and ready for the true fight of the faith. 1. Be armed a. Because of time b. Because of judgment c. Because of resurrection 2. Be ready a. Be sober for prayer b. Have love, not grudges c. Be hospitable, not grumbling d. Serve others in Christ
