“Becoming: The War We Wage”
II Corinthians 10:1-5, {1} By the humility and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am “timid” when face to face with you, but “bold” toward you when away! {2} I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world. {3} For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. {4} The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. {5} We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
