If you've seen the movie "Boy in the Boat" or have been involved with the sport of crewing, you understand how chritical it is for EVERY participant is in sync with the cocksman/coach to successfully reach our destination.
Putting on the FULL ARMOR of God every day, we (as the church of God), will successfully be able to subdue the evil one.
Rob, great posting. I have not seen the movie yet, but a great example of lworking together and standing strong with others to defend ourselves and with the Sword, the Word, the enemy can be defeated. The sword is the only piece of offensive weapon. This is why the Armor of God Challenge asks us to read the Bible every day. Set aside a time daily for devotions, Bible reading, prayer and meditation, learn the verses and be able to recall Gods word when under attack! Join a men or woman's small group, make church part of your routine and serve others. This will help us stand firm against the many temptations and trials, I carry my Armor of God coin in my front right pocket to remind me. And as Rob refererenced, put on the Full Armor daily. - Don coin 0001
