"Finally, every Marine has an individual responsibility to study the profession of arms. A leader without either interest in or knowledge of the history and theory of warfare—the intellectual content of the military profession—is a leader in appearance only. Self-directed study in the art and science of war is at least equal in importance to maintaining physical condition and should receive at least equal time. This is particularly true among officers; after all, the mind is an officer’s principal weapon."
1 Chronicles 12:32
Of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, 200 chiefs, and all their kinsmen under their command.
To know what's up, you have to know where you're at. To know where you're at, you have to know where you come from and how you got here.
2 Corinthians 10:3-4
For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
If you want to topple the towers, you have to know who built them, how they were built and what will keep them from being raised again.
Our weapons are our minds, our worldviews are our battlefields and the Word is our only hope to sharpen the one and succeed in the other.
