Refugees Or Soldiers ?

Today after work, I left with Yenni & Andrew Chan (Yenni's boyfriend) to War Memorial. I love spending time with the both of them, they give me great insight to wisdom & thinking.
Andrew asked this question to me,
"Are you a refugee or a soldier ?"
I thought.. what on earth are you talking about ?

We went into war memorial & we looked at the battle of Gallipoli & World war 1, until we moved on to the Hall of Valour.. Interestingly there are Soldiers that are looked upon greatly for the bravery & courage.. & Andrew Chan was like "Wow, these people are all recognised for their bravery for what they did for their country"
& as he looked around he said "Don't you think it's inspiring, because they didn't sit around waiting & doing nothing to earn their medals. They had to put their life on the line"

This is what he meant to his first question.
Christians are either Refugees or Christians are Soldiers, what are you ?

Refugees, Sit around & wait.. They wait until they are saved, until someone comes to pick them up
Soldiers, are fighting the battles, Sowing the seeds, working the fields & even picking up the refugees

Andrew Chan said "Me & TK had the same conversation yesterday, He said that there are too many Refugees TOO many Christians waiting & sitting around but then their are the Soldiers fighting the battles, fighting the spiritual warfares.
& maybe it's because the Refugees don't see the spiritual warfares even if the Soldiers do."
