Arms Upheld: Support in Life's Hard Battles

This week typically has people reflecting back over the year and then setting their faces toward the next.
As we look at being prayerfully alert, we visit with Simeon and Anna at the temple when Jeus is presented to the Lord.
These two model for us abiding in Christ. Our prayer life plugs us into the Almighty, just as it did for them. This, in turn, fuels us to don the full armor of God.
As we reflect on the blessings God has given to us this year, let's remember that He is the true gift.
Listen to this week's addition to the special Advent series as we see how the armor of God intertwines with the experience of the coming of Christ to help us stand strong in the Lord as we face our own battles by committing to spend more time with Him in the coming year.

Salvation & Spirit - Episode #65

This week, I ask you to exercise your imagination as I propose a question:
What if the helmet of salvation looks more like a crown?
What would a crown mean to us? Would it remind us of our identity in Christ as a child of The King?
We spend some special moments with Mary as her shimmering headwear becomes evident. And is that a sword glinting in her hand?
We also visit a good amount of scripture. How could we not when we are discussing the sword of the Spirit?

Merry Christmas, friend!

Boldly Proclaim - Episode #67

Happy New Year! And Happy Epiphany!
We wrap up our look at the account of the first Christmas this week by spending some time with the wise men.
After we are suited up in the Armor of God, Paul reminds us to pray continually, then emboldens us to proclaim the truth.
The wise men did this. They entered Jerusalem asking about the new king for which they had come so far to see. Their mission was set and their joy great.
They model for us how to be ambassadors for Christ. Seek His truth. Boldly proclaim it. Remain committed no matter how unexpected the circumstances become.
This seems a good way to start a new year. Let's commit to armoring up, proclaiming the truth, and lifting up others in prayer.
