Why is it important to be prepared for attacks on our Christian faith?
-
It is important to be prepared because the attacks will come and we need to know how to respond.

The world is becoming more and more of the attitude of tolerance, but their definition of tolerance is “I am tolerant of what you believe as long as it doesn’t go counter to what I believe.” So we should expect attacks on our beliefs and faith. And the soldier does wait until the bullets are flying to get his armor and weapons ready. He has them ready before then enemy even gets there. So to, do we need to be ready and we need to be preparing our children to be ready.

This is so that we know how and when to respond appropriately when these attacks actually occur.

It’s important to be prepared because we know that the attacks are coming. It’s only a matter of time. If we have the armor of God and God’s word hidden in our hearts, we will win the battle. We don’t send our military out unprepared; we can’t send our students out either. It also makes our faith stronger because we are relying on God for our strength.

Often Christians are dismayed when attacks come. A fickle faith will weaken in the face of attacks. Therefore, it is important for our students to not only know attacks will come but to prepare them, through the Word, for how to handle them. The Bible tells us that our faith is refined through trial. We can have hope in times of trouble and when attacks come, knowing that Christ is with us and will sanctify us through the process.
