The Sword of the Spirit in Action

Treasures of Darkness
I think we’ll pick up on the Armor tomorrow or next week. I want to show you something… Let’s go back to the Old Testament to the book of Isaiah. The scripture I plan on sharing with you, was a pivotal point in my early Christian walk (I’ve been saved 7 years). When I...
The Breastplate of Righteousness
What’s the best way to describe The Breastplate of Righteousness? I’m not sure, but here’s my attempt… Think back to what a Roman soldier wore to protect his chest and major organs: it was a breastplate that reached from the neck to the waist. Without it, he would...
