Most poems are focused on developing a personal relationship with Christ, struggle against sins, the Christian mission in the world, and the poetic interpretation of Scriptural passages. Many of these poems were set to music and turned into songs that the “soldiers” would sing at their regular meetings.<ref>See, for example, a [http://comorinemuritoare.ro/bLOGOS/?cat=4 collection of poems] on one of the unofficial websites of the movement, „Comori Nemuritoare” [Immortal Treasures]. (in Romanian) </ref> One criticism directed against the “soldiers” was their preference for their own range of sentimental songs and pietistic poetry over to the more sober, but theologically richer traditional liturgical music.<ref>Archim.

Controversy has surrounded the movement since its founding as Fr. Trifa's writings<ref>What is the Army of the Lord? (Ce Este Oastea Domnului?)/<ref> are silent concerning the role of the [[church]] and liturgy in salvation and spirituality. In his writings, his understanding of salvation and witness is expressed in language that is more commonly used by Western Protestantism.

Since the fall of communism in the last decade of the twentieth century the course of the organization has been torn over issues about the purpose and mission of the Army of the Lord.<br />
