Where are you in God's Army?

Imagine the body of Christ was an army (we are), and imagine the metaphor of modern warfare.

In an army soldiers can be in many different roles.

Some as reconnaissance (scouts)
Some are the foot soldiers (infantry)

Some are the medics (healing wounder soldiers)

Others control the heavy artillery and others the battle tank,

Others are generals and others teach the new recruits back at the base,

and other create the weapons. Etc, etc, etc, I think you get the point.

Now with the analogy of an army, where are you in the body of Christ???

For me, I see myself as a medic in the army and also a part of the army war band.

As a medic I see myself supporting others who have been hurt and wounded by the battle scars
and bullets of the enemy which impact their mental and spiritual health. I support through my career as
a mental health therapist/Christian counselor,

As a part of the army band, playing as the army marches into battle; I do this as I minister with music at my church
ushering people into the presence of God where they are drawn closer to repent of sin, worship God, and
continue the spiritual fight.

How about you, what part of God's army do you see yourself in? (Using the modern warfare metaphor).

This is what playing video games will do to you.

:joy:.


I actually don't currently play video games ( mostly play chess, probably too much),


but thanks for the laughs.

I just like the metaphor of an army.

In the Bible Paul talked about the full armor of God and uses a similar metaphor, only difference is he related it to the Roman solider.

The army of his times.

You think Paul played the Xbox and Playstation also?

Love and God Bless. @detniona . Stay blessed.

I knew you played video games. But as for the writings of this man or said to be who
was named Saul but changed his name to Paul and declared Himself an Apostle...
I do not know him, nor do I follow him, nor do I read much of anything he is said to write.
From what I have read I agree with some of it and some of it I do not agree with it.
I asked Jesus one day about it and Jesus said this to me....

I am the way
I am the life
I am the truth.

That reply said it all to me.

You can read about the real
army of God in the second chapter of Joel.
It is nothing like you image.
