John 18:36 -- My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 -- For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh.  For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.  We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.

Obedience!  Let's get on our knees and use God's weapons.  Divine power to destroy!  Be like Joshua.  Strong and courageous in the Lord.  Fear the Lord!

19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. 21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.  James 1:19-20

Okay,  perhaps slowly to our knees then... but then let's pray perhaps as never before.

James 1:25, a few verses later, "But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing."

I think we are all being called to a higher ground as we see the end of the Age of Grace in full view. What you guys posted are good things to remember!
