Retreat Weekend
I spent the weekend at the Eastside Grace Brethren Church as their retreat speaker. I taught about how to win student life battles. The Bible teaches that we have an enemy, Satan, our Adversary (Job 1:6). He seeks to mess up our lives. In fact, the Bible teaches that Satan is like a roaring lion seeking those that he may devour (I Peter 5:8). Every Christian has armor to fight or to resist Satan's attacks and schemes (Ephesians 6:10-20). I shared how students can be armed and dangerous with the spiritual weapons that God provides for every Christian.

I need to armor-up. It does not matter if I am a pastor or not. Satan attacks. I can resist him and his schemes. I can fight back in God's power and in the Lord's armor. So each morning picture in your mind, getting God's armor on for the spiritual warfare that awaits you each day. With God's help you can win life's battles.
