Here is a great reminder in the words of C. S. Lewis,
"Christianity agrees with Dualism that this universe is at war. But it does not think this is a war between independent powers. It thinks it is a civil war, a rebellion, and that we are living in a part of the universe occupied by the rebel. Enemy-occupied territory--that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us to take part in a great campaign of sabotage. When you go to church you are really listening-in to the secret wireless from our friend: that is why the enemy is so anxious to prevent us from going. He does it by playing on our conceit and laziness and intellectual snobbery..."
This is how I like to think about the Christian life. Boring? Never! It's like fighting in the most epic science fiction movie of good vs. evil... except it is not a movie; it is not fiction; and the battle is already won. How awesome is that? Fight on!
