Pillar - Frontline
I think that this song is really accurate in telling about what daily life for Christians can be like. Even though we walk into the valley of the shadow of death every day, we're not alone. Many have other Christian friends to share the burden on their journey. For those that may not, Jesus walks alongside all of us anyway, and He is closer than even a brother. And if we don't back down on our journey, we will receive the Crown of Life in heaven, as Revelation 2:10 says. "Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life."
These verses aren't completely comforting, because they say that we will be persecuted and put on trial for our faith. That's what being on the frontline is all about. We're called to defend our faith before the nations, not hide behind our fear and lies. If we're not going to stand up for our faith, what's the point of being on those frontlines? We can't be afraid of what's going on in the world, of the times. Let your light shine before men (yes, and women too), so that they might give the glory to God.
