Our Strategy

God and Satan are engaged in ongoing conflict,and those who choose Christ's side join an army unlike any other.It is an army that does battle with spiritual weapons.Unless we learn to use them,we will be sitting ducks for Satan's subtle strategies;he will use every trick he knows to frighten us into retreat or lure us over to his side.
Our strategy is threefold;put on a spiritual armor,produce spiritual fruit,and practice spiritual disciplines.
Ephesians 6:13 says ,"Put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in times of evil."
When we choose to follow Jesus,sin doesn't immediately lose its appeal on us;it simply loses its power over us.Until God gives us glorified bodies,we will remain not only susceptible to sin but also inclined to it.That is why we need to watch our ways.If we continually choose sin we will suffer consequences of broken peace,and lost joy.But if we continue to pursue spiritual renewal,our lives will become whole and fruitful.
