I have noted that there is too often a push to use military themes when discussing the Christian life and calling. But from what I can tell, the uses of military analogies is really rather limited, and even then it is difficult to assert that the purpose of them was to infer that the Christian life should be like the military.

Rather that there are some aspects of military discipline that are worthy of our consideration. Just as there are some aspects of training for sporting events that are worthy of consideration.

Not that there are aspects of military discipline that should be forced onto anyone. Or severe, over-emphasized aspects of physical training for sports that should be.

These are just more of the tendency to over-apply analogies that Lee was famous for. "The transliteration of the word would by dynamo, therefore it is just like a power plant, wires, and electricity."

Yeah, right.
