We are in a battle daily, so we must daily prepare for battle. One of the ways we daily prepare to stand firm in this battle is by daily putting on the breastplate of righteousness to protect our hearts from enemy’s attacks. We protect our hearts daily by daily choosing to trust and obey. The protection of your heart is vital because it is the core of your being, the center of everything you feel, think, are and do. If we don't want to be a war casualty, we must put on the breastplate of righteousness.
To truly love our neighbors like Jesus commands, our ultimate motive must be to love them, not just to “convert” them.
To defeat fear in your life, you must decide to surrender your life into God’s hands.
To create a church you love, you must be a fanatic about the next generation.
