We have 3 GodsNotDead clans now. Since our 2 clans are close to full, me and 2 co-leaders started a new Christian clan with 7 members. Our trophy requirement is 1000. You are invited to join.

"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it?

saying, 'This fellow began to build and was not able to finish." (Luke 14: 28-30)
Farming/Get rid of troops from the opponent's castle:
Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack Ai. For I have delivered into your hands the king of Ai (opponent clan), his people, his city and his land.
You shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king, except that you may carry off their plunder (Gold) and livestock (Elixir) for yourselves. Set an ambush (troops) behind the city (castle)."
(Joshua 8:1-2)

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."
Put our hope in God instead of your stored elixir and gold because they will be raid no matter how much defense you have in your base:
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. (1 Timothy 6: 17)
Be generous and donate 25,000 troops to friends in need, you will get 250 gems in heaven that cannot be raid:
Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
(1 Timothy 6: 18-19)
I have spent all my resources in upgrades. No longer need to worry about being raid and no need shield.
(Proverb 13:8)
A man's riches may ransom his life, but a poor man hears no threat.
Each war we lose to a strong opponent, we gain in experience, become stronger and more ready for next clan war.
(James 1:2-4)
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Our walls are getting stronger everyday from stone, gold, crystal… My 7 day second account is now in silver and Dillon's 2 day account is now bronze I.

Tough decision on clearing the inactives and free loaders in order to keep the good clan mates.
(Luke 6:43-45)
No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.
Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers.
The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.
