Thu // Warrior :: Battle
Title: Don’t get separated For the battle is not yours, but God’s. – 2 Chronicles 20:15c The most significant part of spiritual warfare is to acknowledge that Satan’s goal is to separate us from Christ. Satan tries to get us to fight this battle alone, if we try to do this alone, we are at […]

Title: All Love the LORD with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. – Deut. 6:5 Even though the verse seems like a straight forward commandment, it tells me a couple of things. I see the word “all” before heart, soul, and strength, and it jumps off the page. […]
