Called to the Frontlines: Rising as a Humble Warrior of Christ
Some people say, “Truth is relative.” But imagine this: if your GPS says “Turn right,” do you argue with Siri and say, “Don’t tell me what to do”? No. You follow because you trust it’s leading you somewhere. How much more should we trust the direction of God’s truth?
It is during moments of loss that the truth becomes most clear.
When the false promises of the world—security through money, beauty, health, or applause—collapse, many find themselves gasping for something real. Suddenly, the comfort that once defined “success” is gone. But those who have rooted themselves in truth won’t panic when the world shakes. Because they weren’t standing on shifting sand to begin with.
This is why Scripture matters. It doesn’t just prepare you for a good day. It equips you to endure every day. When the noise of the world grows loud, the Word of God cuts through it like a sword, reminding you of what lasts.
The problem is not that truth doesn’t exist. The problem is that we live in a world that doesn’t want to submit to it.
But real freedom doesn’t come from resisting truth. It comes from surrendering to it.
The Word of God is not stale ink on ancient paper. It is alive. Hebrews 4:12 says, “The word of God is alive and active.” The same verse can pierce the heart of a grieving widow, ignite courage in a young man starting over, or soothe the shame of someone who thinks they’ve blown it beyond repair.
A best-selling romance novel won’t do that. A social media quote won’t do that.
Only the Word of God can meet every soul in every circumstance with exactly what they need to hear.
And yet, too many leave this sword in its sheath.
Study it. Know it. Wield it. Because in this life, the enemy is not afraid of your titles, your income, or your plans. But he trembles when you know the truth. Because the truth is what sets people free. (John 8:32)
