Silent But Real Warfare • Ephesians 6:10-18

During the Civil War, people close to battles reported not hearing any sound from the battle, while people further away were clearly hearing the booming of artillery. This phenomenon is called an acoustic shadow, defined as pockets of silence created by rare atmospheric conditions. It occurs to me that it’s easier to deny a battle if you can’t hear it and we, as Christians, are too easily fooled by the silence of our fellow believers in Christ. Scriptures tell us differently. We’re told to endure as a good soldier of Jesus Christ (2 Tim. 2:3) and live prepared for battle (Eph. 6:10-18).
