figure it out!!!
The Shield of Faith
[talk about shields…and Cap’s shield]
When I think of faith, my mind immediately turns to scripture about faith.
What God’s word tells us about what faith is.
It turns that way, because often we confuse faith with religion; faith with church…[elaborate on that]
…but all that other stuff isn’t what faith is really about; it isn’t what faith is.
The author of Hebrews, in fact, finds it to be such an important issue that they clear up exactly what faith is!
Heb 11:1-
[expand on that..eventually alluding to Paul…]
That is what faith is…[expand on idea from the point of view of us fixing our eyes on stuff; on the solution we can understand, or the protection we can understand(keep on listing here)]…but those things are just temporary!
When we set our hearts on God, and carry in us the assurance that He loves us, created us, and actively makes a way for us, not just in this life, but the next as well - then we truly are protected by faith.
***And that faith becomes for us a shield.
It deflects all the bad stuff, because in light of everything the world throws at us, we are saved and we are safe in the arms of God.**
How do you take up that shield?
We have to believe.
And believing starts, believe it or not, in the head as much as in the heart.
So that can start for us when we understand that we have been bought!
We have been saved.
Helmet of Salvation
[this needs to be about our understanding of our salvation.

Sword of the Spirit
We like this one, don’t we? Oh we like to wield that sword.
When I think about the sword of the Spirit my mind races toward Peter...
…He had no need or reason to swing that sword, but how quickly he fell back onto human impulses.
The same impulses we all have.
But we need not.
We really needn’t.
You see, we swing those swords to condemn, to cast light on evil, or to try to show the way.
But we miss out on the very core of the message of Christ when we do that.
Church, we aren’t God.
We don’t get to sit in the seat of judgement.
Jesus doesn’t just say “Judge not, lest you be judged,” he also says, “for by your own measure it will measured to you!”
So if that isn’t reason enough to convince you that being the judge of any person is a bad idea, that condemning people isn’t exactly your role, then how about these words from the gospel of John:
John 3:
He didn’t come to condemn, and let me tell you if He didn’t, we shouldn’t either.
We point people to Jesus, and He takes care of the rest.
We point people to Jesus, and He takes care of the rest.
