Invitation: Christianity similar to military

My son William is 10 years old. This is his first invitation, which he will deliver on Wednesday, March 18, 2009:

I N V I T A T I O N
One of my interests is all things military. Christianity has some things in common with the military. For example, both soldiers and Christians have the following in common:

  1. Training. Ephesians 6:4. Both soldiers and Christians need training [Read]

  2. Discipline. 1 Corinthians 9:27. Just like a soldier, Paul recognized the necessity of self-discipline. [Read]

  3. Orderly. 1 Corinthians 14:40. Collectively soldiers and Christians are to work together in an orderly fashion. [Read]

  4. War. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5. Soldiers and Christians are trained for battle, but a Christian's war is spiritual in nature. [Read]

  5. Uniform. Soldiers are dressed with the latest technology, but Ephesians 6:10-17 says that Christians are to be suited with truth, righteousness, faith, God's word, the gospel, and salvation.

  6. Follow orders. Colossians 1:18. Soldiers follow the orders of their commanders. Christians recognize Christ as the Head of the church. [Read]
If you are willing to enlist in God's army and follow Christ's commands, then please step forward to be baptized as we stand and sing.
