“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.”
Ephesians 6:11
Every day we are under attack by the sworn mortal enemy of our souls. He prowls around like a roaring lion and has one mission....“To steal, kill, and destroy” (John 10:10), and make us ineffective followers of Jesus Christ.
Our daily battle is a spiritual one, “For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against the mighty powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens” (Ephesians 6:12). Satan’s attacks are continuous and relentless, and he uses the world and our flesh as weapons against us as well.
We have a call to arms in Ephesians 6. We are called to “Armor Up”
daily with God’s Armor which is sufficient to help us combat and thwart the attacks of our adversary. This Armor is found in total reliance and abiding in Jesus! He is our Armor!
Let's "Armor Up" every day!
To get off the sidelines, abandon apathy and selfishness and stand steadfast in the Faith….
To stop being boys and start acting like men, refusing to compromise God’s Word and choosing to stand in the God defined roles men are called….
To lead with vigilance, courage, and integrity, all enveloped with humility and love, fully empowered and equipped through Jesus Christ….
It’s time for men to be men….
It’s time to change the trajectory of our marriages and families for generations….
It’s time to change the trajectory of our society for the future….
It’s time to act like men, sons of the Most High King, and be the agents of change He calls us to be...
All for the glory and honor of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
Amen and Amen!
Gentlemen, It's time to rise up, "Armor Up," and Stand our post!
The only offensive weapon in the Armor of God is the "Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God" (Ephesians 6:17).
God's Word is our primary weapon for our daily battle.
The "Daily Sword" is a devotional challenge for men to "Armor Up" and live the purposeful life God wants men to live.
I believe the current condition of the family and society at large is a direct reflection of the condition of the man.
Our world lacks God-honoring men not standing in the roles and responsibilities that God designed them for.
The apathetic and spiritual condition of the man is the "micro," while broken marriages and families and a godless society is the "macro."
Marriage is the first institution that God created. It is the foundation of the family, and the family is the foundation of society. Strong and God honoring marriages cultivate strong and God honoring families, which cultivate strong and God honoring societies.
We need a return to the God designed, God architected, Biblical definition of covenant marriage!
