A Christian Soldier's Creed

I am a soldier of God. I am a warrior and a member of a team.
I serve the people of God and live the Christian virtues and values.
I shall always place the mission first. flag
I shall never quit. Surrender is not an option.
I shall never leave a fallen comrade.
I am disciplined.
I am physically, mentally, morally and spiritually tough.
I am trained and proficient in my spiritual warrior tasks and skills.
I always maintain my weapons, my equipment and myself.
I am an expert and I'm professional in the sure knowledge and practice of my faith.
I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of God, and of souls, in close and immortal combat.
I am a guardian of the glorious freedom of the children of God, and the Christian way of life.
