Yesterday, Hegseth's Army 

Today, God's Army 

Note: Over the years we blogged for six days a week, then five, and three, and seven. Realizing that we can still offer you worthwhile information in our "old age," we return to seven days, sharing articles that are begging to be read. And Sundays will be the Lord's day. From our pastor: 

     "Peter understood the importance of being spiritually armed. He knew we need more than casual familiarity with God's Word. We need to be trained. When we arm ourselves with Scripture, the lies that once seemed so convincing begin to lose their power. Temptations become more recognizable for what they are. Our spiritual muscles grow stronger with each truth. 

     "This isn't to win arguments. It's about allowing God's truth to reshape our thinking, realign our priorities, and redirect our actions. When we are armed with the Word, we begin to see the world through God's eyes rather than our limited perspective.

     "Whatever form it takes, remember that this preparation isn't optional - it's essential for every soldier in God's army." 

"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." - Hebrews 4:12
