Psalm 1:2-3

Few organic things flourish better than a tree planted by a river. Its roots run deep, and its fruit yields plentifully. In what ways is the blessed life just like that tree?

Psalm 1:1

The Psalms are deeply personal. They express people's raw emotions and the real solutions that God provides through His Word! Psalm 1 is the first of 41 Psalms in the first book of Psalms. Almost all of these Psalms in the first book were written by David.

Ephesians 6:23-24

Ephesians 6:21-22

Ephesians 6:19-20

Ephesians 6:18

Ephesians 6:17

Too many Christians adopt an entirely defensive mindset about spiritual warfare. To be certain, God provides armor for defensive protection, but that’s not all He provides. Believers have access to the Word of God, and they are to wield it with confidence and consistency.

Ephesians 6:16

It is not what is true that will help me; it is what I *believe* about that truth that will ultimately help me. Faith is the principle by which all believers are to live (Rom. 1:17). It is the only way by which to please God, and it is the only reliable evidence of what we claim is true.

Ephesians 6:14-15

On today’s podcast, we discuss the protection that our gifted righteousness provides for us. We are vitally protected by what Christ has already accomplished for us on the Cross! And that same Gospel that saves us is able to save others. Soldiers need to have on the shoes of Gospel preparation as they wage spiritual warfare.

Ephesians 6:13-14

The belt was essential and integral to every soldier's armor. The belt held every other piece of armor in its proper place. For the believer, the belt to be worn is the belt of truth. Without an accurate view of our God and ourselves, we cannot be effective soldiers of Jesus Christ.
