Attention All Recruits: Battle For the Truth

ATTENTION: ALL RECRUITS

Exciting times are ahead! For some of you soldiers, the Battle For Truth is less than a month away! I speak for all of the commanding officers in the Battle for Truth program when I say, “We can’t wait!” I expect you feel the same way!

There are a few keys items that I need you be prepared for when you arrive for your Battle For Truth training. First, I need you soldiers to come in uniform. That’s right–I need you pull out that camouflage, those medals, flag patches, dog tags, or anything else to complete your own unique uniform. Second, I need you to be ready for weapons training. It’s ok, Mom and Dad…our only weapon in the Battle for Truth is the Sword of the Spirit—The Word of God***. On Friday night, you will have a couple passages that you can work on overnight with your parents to build your skill in using the Sword of the Spirit.

This brings us to another very important piece of information! In the Battle for Truth, there will be two teams, the Navy Girls and the Army Boys! Points will be added for all those who come in their uniform and for those who complete weapons training (Scripture Memory) with their parents. One team has to win, and on Saturday night, we will find out if it is the Army or the Navy!

Finally, one item of preparation remains. Simply, it is prayer. After that great Soldier of the Faith, Paul, told us in Ephesians 6 to put on the Armor of God, in the very next verse, he told us to pray. I ask each Soldier to pray about the TTD Conference they will be attending with their family. Pray that God would help you and your whole family to grow spiritually as they hear the truth of His Word taught. Paul also said in Ephesians 6 to pray “for me…that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel.” I would ask each recruit to pray for me and the other speakers and leaders of the Battle for Truth and TTD Conference, that God would help us as we prepare and speak to you.

Well, at ease, soldiers. That is all I have for you now. Until I see you, stay strong in The Lord and come ready for the Battle for Truth!

This would include, but is not limited to any camo, insignia, pins, dog tags, berets, sailor hats, roman soldier type toy armor, etc. However, we ask that NO toy guns, toy knives or swords, pocket knives, airsoft guns, water guns, or any other type of play (or real) weapon is brought to the Battle for Truth.
