Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,

David expressed keen sorrow for the unholiness in his life: "O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more" (Psalm 39:13). He did not want to die until holiness ruled his heart again. Ungodliness is a poison which drinks up ...

Ephesians 6:14 (NASB)
Sincerity, or truth of heart, can be compared to a girdle in the light of the dual purpose of a soldier's belt.

Judges 6:13 (NASB)
Perhaps you are discouraged, not ...
Look closely at the label to see whether the armor you wear is the workmanship of God or not. There are many imitations on the market nowadays.

And He said* to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.
Matthew 17:20 (NASB)
God cautions us to be tender to His lambs, but no one can ever ...
Spiritual warfare is noble because it is just. It is all too true that most people join in political and military battles without ever knowing why.
