”We commend ourselves to you by our truthful teachings, by the power of God working through us, and with the mighty weapons of righteousness—a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. Amid honor or dishonor, slander or praise—even when we are treated as deceivers and imposters—we remain steadfast and true.“
Amid honor or dishonor, slander or praise - that’s a Biblical shoutout to all of those who have been called right wing conspiracy theorists, Christian nationalists and Ultra MAGA who are listening! We know that the weapons of our warfare are not physical but spiritual, because we don’t war against flesh and blood - but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. And this is a time more than any other time in history perhaps to live at the ready, to live a continual lifestyle equipped with the full armor of God moving forward in this spiritual war with the shield of faith and the sword of the spirit helping one another through this time that often seems to be ruled by chaos and darkness. We are the light bearers, so we have to run into that darkness in order to see exposure and change the scene. Don’t shy away from it, because the Lord has given us the equipping and protection to do that.
