Thy word have I hid in my heart that I may not sin against thee..

So about 9 months ago, I was home doing a bible study. It was towards the end of summer, gettin' ready to go back to school, probably smelled like gas and grass from mowing, with slurpee stains all up and down my sleeve less t-shirt. (I misssss home)

The message was on the word of God acting as a weapon. We had talked to them a year prior about Ephesians and the armor of God, but I wanted to embellish on one of the pieces, a tiny bit more. The sword.

The Greek translation for the word "sword" (specifically used in Ephesians 6) refers to a sword that would be found on a Roman solider. It was very small, almost like a dagger, and was meant to be drawn out swiftly and used for quick multiple stabs.

Think about that!

This is how we are instructed to use the word of God. It should be readily available, quick to throw out, and have multiple references for you to "stab" into the enemy.

After saying all this to the boys, you'd think my sword would be sharp.... Well, It's not sharp enough, quick enough, nor readily available for my new battles. :/

As Christians, your battle WILL change. Satan is a fierce adversary. He is a lion seeking whom he may devour. He doesn't let up after you whip on him once. You may beat him on one battle field, but the war is not over! As a Christian, I can't just sit on a handful of victories, and think that the war is won! I need to keep sharp, and prepare my weapons for battle!

P.S. I know I used the word "you" a lot, and that's a literary no no. That's why I'm not a writer. Maybe the Lord will bless me with a wife who knows how to write stuff, and can help me with that book I wanna write one day ;) Oh and she can help me with comma's too..


Pray that Deasty boy would get his game on and start using some scripture ;)
Pray that this generation of Christians would use the word of God to define Christian living, NOT Christian culture, and pray that I could have strength for the fight. ;)
