Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. The devil or his demons are always…

It seems to me that there are times life feels like a battle. In some places like the Ukraine there is a literal battle going on, but the world we live in is more than just physical. There is a spiritual realm as well, a dimension which we often are unaware of but still is closely connected to the physical…

The spiritual warfare we wage is not a physical battle, but rather a battle against spiritual forces.

Last week we talked about the belt of truth. The belt on a Roman soldier’s uniform was worn at all times, even if the other pieces of armor were not worn.

This world can be hard. We know this to be true but sometimes we must state the “obvious”. This world is full of conflict.
