Exercising Thyself Unto Godliness

Exercising Thyself Unto Godliness How is your exercise routine? Primarily, I am not referring to physical exercise, though, of course, it does have its time and place in our lives. Too often society places unreasonable or unfair expectations on us. While we may feel better about ourselves when we are in better shape, feeling like we can never achieve our weight loss goals or please others with the way we look physically can take an ongoing toll. Plus, we must not expect to be able to maintain or achieve the condition we had in our twenties with our actual condition in middle age or even later years. Our bodies do age and don’t work the same way they once did when we were younger - including our metabolisms. Many of us also have developed health issues as the years went on - whether from aging, or perhaps even as the result of accidents or of things that have happened to us throughout the years. Whatever your physical condition, your spiritual condition is so much more important in the ...

The Armour Of Light

The Armour Of Light The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Romans 13:12 Ephesians 6:10-12 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. This passage is a very familiar one to most Christians, one that many keep coming back to over and over again to help them fight their daily spiritual battles. I have written several studies on the various components of the armour, so I won't list them again here, but I wanted to bring out a few newer points that I have been pondering on. Whose armour is it? The Lord's. Whose strength and might do we go in? Christ's. The word power in verse 10 is St...

Is Your Amour On?

To hear an adapted version of this study combined with The Armour Of God study preached in 2023, please click on the link below: Is Your Armour On? Sermon Is Your Armour On? So many Christians are concerned about wearing the armour of God (and rightly so), but there is so much unbiblical nonsense going around that it is rather disturbing. There is some truth and so much error taught in this area that many people will either get caught up in the false teachings and philosophies or avoid the issue altogether. This study will not be dealing with the whole armour (I have already written a study on that - The Armour Of God ), but will be dealing with one essential part that so many neglect. Ephesians 6:11-13 states: Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Whe...
