Ephesians 6:10-18
  • The Whole Armor of God is meant to protect us, that we may be able to stand against the powers and principalities that come against us.

What are the Loins Girt about with Truth for?

The loins help you to stand. They give you support to stand. They help you to get up when you've fallen.

John 8:31-32
  • The truth makes you free and you'll know His disciples because they continue in His Word.
John 14:6
  • Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He is NOT a way, a truth, or a life.
Hebrews 13:8-9
  • The truth of Jesus does not change. Don't be carried away with diverse and strange doctrines. The truth is being trodden down in our day and age. He did not leave us blind in the Word. 
  • How much are we putting our trust in the Lord? We must put on the truth so we're not carried away with false doctrine.
2 Timothy 2:15
  • This is how we will not be carried away with bad doctrine. Rightly dividing the word of truth; Satan wrongly divides the word of truth.
Ephesians 4:2--15
  • Be not children tossed to and fro, carried about with every wind of doctrine. But speak the truth in Love.
  • Be careful what you teach children, they soak it up and are tossed to and fro. 
"And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea." Mark 9:42
1 Corinthians 10:12

  • Be careful when you stand lest you fall. Jesus is the one putting the garment on us and we must stand in Him.
1 John 5:18-20
  • "This is the true God." Does it bother you that your Bible collects dust all week until Sunday? Keep (guard and protect) the Truth! Pray that He (the truth) will guard and protect us.
Do we trust the Word of God as truth? If so, do we study, ask God, seek, etc?

Do we live for Truth or Emotionalism?

The founder and CEO of Hobby Lobby, a Christian family owned business, has been forced to file a lawsuit to stand for truth. The new healthcare laws will mandate Hobby Lobby to provide, without co-pay, the "morning after pill" and "week after pill" in their health insurance plan, or face crippling fines up to 1.3 million dollars per day. 
"We simply cannot abandon our religious beliefs and comply with this mandate. We know that we have been blessed by God's grace and believe it is because we have chosen to live our lives and to operate our business according to His Word and we are very grateful for that. But our faith is being challenged by the federal government." - David Green, Hobby Lobby founder & CEO

It's not about "What Would Jesus Do?" it's " What DID Jesus Do?" He is truth and gave and example for us.

Don't Be Naked! - The Breastplate

The Whole Armor of God This Week: The Breastplate Click image to enlarge. Sunday, September 30, 2012 Led by Eric Gintert Ephesians 6:10-18 The Whole Armor of God Isaiah 59:16-17 This is what God wants us to be clothed with... the very thing He clothed His Son with! Ephesians 6:14 The breastplate protects the heart and desires. 1 Thessalonians 5:4-9 Your heart represents your desires. Are you desiring your own righteousness or His righteousness? Jude 3 says, "...   ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" yet we're doing the same things as the world. We say that we have our armor on, but really, we're sleeping. William Booth's Breastplate of Righteousness William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, was not concerned with thrift stores, food lines, and raising money (while all this is a good work and nothing is wrong with the cause). He guarded his heart by having a conc

For the Love of Money...

Sunday, December 11, 2011 Led by Eric Gintert "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." 1 Timothy 6:10 1 Timothy 6:1-21  -  We are commanded to be content with food and raiment... These are our only requirements for life, everything else is extra. The rich have much temptation and snares because of there riches. It is important to note the the scripture states that the love of money is the root of all evil. Money in it's self is not evil. It's the love of money that is evil. Money is also the root of all evil. Much evil starts from an issue of money. We are commanded to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind but we cannot do this is our first love is money. See Matthew 19:23-26, Matthew 6:24, and Matthew 22:37 Exodus 20:3-17  -  We can look at just the ten commandments, God's Law, and see where money is oftentimes at the
