After Ephesians 4:1-16
When we were called up,
and assembled into our unit
formed for basic training,
which could be and often is
rigorous and uncomfortable,
he didn’t leave us leaderless
or without resources.
We weren’t an army
without officers or leaders
or a supply train,
a formless mass to be
tossed about by every wind
and wave. The call included
rather extensive resources:
apostles, prophets, evangelists,
shepherds, teachers, people
gifted to come along side
and lead the troops for the work
we were called to.

Love how you used modern imagery to illustrate how the early Christian "army" must have looked.
