The Full Armor of God

The Full Armor of God On occasion I actually remember the Armor of God only works when all the parts are put in their proper place. If one piece is out of balance, well, it is highly ineffective. Sure a piece here, a piece there will assist our walk, but it will not offer the full protection of our Lord, Christ Jesus. When I put this website together I wanted the first thing people encountered to be “Today’s Armor” as a reminder to suit-up for the day! Since we do…

How The Left’s Immense Cultural Power Affects Politics By Saritha Prabhu for The Federalist Much of our current divisiveness and polarization stems from the imbalance between the left’s media power and the right’s political power. One problem in our politics today is the power imbalance between the left and the right. The left has immense cultural power in America, while the right has more political power (the presidency, the Senate, and the Supreme Court). This has given rise to our current state of frenzied, over-the-top politics wherein everything the president says…

4 Ways to Revolutionize Your Bible Reading

4 Ways to Revolutionize Your Bible Reading by Peter Leithart for The Gospel Coalition It’s humbling to read the sermons and homilies of the church fathers. Grab virtually any passage from Augustine’s Enarrations on the Psalms, and you’ll find a tour de force, as Augustine leads you on a labyrinthine journey from the psalm to Genesis and Exodus to the Gospels to Revelation and back. William Blake trained himself to see the world in every grain of sand; Augustine sees the kaleidoscope of Scripture refracted through every verse. Augustine isn’t humbling to read because he…

WHY THE ASCENSION OF CHRIST MATTERS FOR YOUR LIFE

WHY THE ASCENSION OF CHRIST MATTERS FOR YOUR LIFE by Matthew Barrett for Core Christianity Christ’s ascension turns humiliation into exaltation. Christ ascended into heaven, an event we too often overlook, thinking it has little significance. The last thing we read in Luke’s Gospel, and one of the first things we read in his sequel (the book of Acts), is that Jesus ascended into the sky after appearing to his disciples in his resurrected body. As Luke records, Jesus led his disciples as far as Bethany, lifted up his hands…

Adventures in Beekeeping

Adventures in Beekeeping by K. in Tennessee for Survival Blog I’ve been a regular reader of SurvivalBlog.com for years and had developed an interest in keeping bees. I started researching online, got a book or two from the library, and after a few years felt I was ready to give it a try. Then we moved 800 miles away, bought some land, built a house, and started a little hobby farm in southern Appalachia. Life has funny ways of getting in the way, but I’m much happier for it, and…

Unless We Are Sent (Podcast)

Unless We Are Sent Podcast by Pastor JD Greear for Summit Church Podcast HERE >>> OK, last week I explained to you that Romans 10 is the flip of Romans 9. Romans 9 was all about God’s sovereignty in the salvation process; Romans 10 focuses on our role. For Paul, God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility exist together in a mysterious tension that we, at least on this side of eternity, may never fully resolve. The 1st 13 verses of Romans 10 focused on how we believe. Starting in vs. 14…
