Nobody tells you, when you give your life to Christ, that you are also enlisting in a war.
You are told about forgiveness, which is glorious. You are told about peace, which is real. You are told about purpose and community and the presence of God, all of which are true. But the fine print, the part that does not always make it into the welcome brochure, is this: the moment you became a believer, you became a target.
