Doug Wilson's book Warriors Without Weapons is a powerful and challenging call to American Christians to rediscover their true mission. Wilson argues that the church has become too focused on comfort and self-preservation, and as a result, it has lost its power to change the world. He calls on Christians to embrace a more militant and aggressive approach to evangelism and social action, and to be willing to fight for what they believe in.

Wilson's book is not for the faint of heart. He pulls no punches in his criticism of the American church, and he does not shy away from controversial topics. However, his message is ultimately one of hope and renewal. He believes that the church can still be a powerful force for good in the world, but only if it is willing to rediscover its warrior spirit.

The Church's Mission

Wilson begins his book by arguing that the church has lost sight of its true mission. He says that the church is not called to be a social club or a political organization. Its mission is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ and to make disciples of all nations.

Wilson points out that the early church was a very different institution from the modern church. The early church was persecuted and marginalized, but it was also a powerful force for change. The early Christians were willing to die for their faith, and they were not afraid to stand up for what they believed in.

Wilson believes that the modern church has become too comfortable and self-serving. He says that we have become more interested in protecting our own interests than in reaching out to the lost. As a result, we have lost our power to change the world.

The Warrior Spirit

Wilson argues that the church needs to rediscover its warrior spirit. He says that we need to be willing to fight for what we believe in, even when it is difficult. He points out that Jesus Christ was a warrior who came to conquer the powers of darkness. He calls on Christians to follow in Jesus' footsteps and to be willing to fight for the truth.

Wilson does not advocate violence or aggression. He says that the warrior spirit is not about fighting with swords and spears. It is about fighting with the weapons of the Spirit: prayer, fasting, and the Word of God.

Wilson believes that the church needs to be willing to stand up for what it believes in, even when it is unpopular. He says that we need to be willing to defend our faith against the attacks of secularism and relativism.

The Way Forward

Wilson concludes his book by calling on Christians to embrace the warrior spirit and to rediscover their true mission. He says that the church can still be a powerful force for good in the world, but only if it is willing to fight for what it believes in.

Wilson's book is a timely and important challenge to American Christianity. He calls on Christians to rediscover their warrior spirit and to be willing to fight for what they believe in. If we are willing to answer his call, the church can once again be a powerful force for change in the world.
