Sun Tzu, the ancient Chinese war strategist, famously taught that one of the critical elements of war was to “know your enemy.” Sadly, throughout her history, this has been something the church has repeatedly confused, and often to devastating consequences. In this week's teaching, Andy helps us think about the true enemy of the church and the unique role we are called to as we live as citizens in the world.
