Soldier Spirit

2 Timothy 2:3, 4 "Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier."

The Soldiers' Creed is what all Army personal agree to live by. It goes like this:

I am an American Soldier:

-I am a Warrior and a member of a team.

-I serve the people of the United States, and live the Army Values.

-I will always place the mission first.

-I will never accept defeat.

-I will never quit.

-I will never leave a fallen comrade.

-I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills.

-I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.

-I am an expert and I am a professional.

-I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States of America, in close combat.

-I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.

I am an American Soldier.

The Army of Christ has almost the same creed:

-I am a warrior of the faith and a part of the family of God.

-I am a servant of all men as was my Lord Jesus.

-I have a great commission which come first in my life.

-I cannot be defeated in Jesus' Name.

-I will not abandon my post but press forward.

-I will minister restoration as often as necessary.

-I will learn to endure hardness through the discipline of God's Word.

-I will study to show myself approved.

-I am ready to go into all the world and preach the gospel.

-I am a guardian of the values of freedom extended me by the Cross.

I am a Soldier of the Spirit. Onward Christian soldiers marching with the call of Jesus going on before!
