Weekend, November 7, 2020 Unassailable "Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand" (Ephesians 6:13 nkjv). The church is under attack like never before. It is under attack around the world. And it is under attack in our own nation. Our culture summarily mocks, marginalizes, and dismisses Christians as lunatics. Overseas, communists and Islamic terrorists are murdering our brothers and sisters in Christ. It's enough to cause a Christian to become downright discouraged. But I have good news for you today: We may lose a battle here or there, but we're going to win the war. Jesus said the gates of hell will not prevail against the church (see Matthew 16:18). In ancient times, armies used the military tactic of breaking down the gates of an enemy's fortress and hitting them with a battering ram. Once inside, they would destroy the opposing army. In the same way, Jesus is saying that Satan and his forces are unable to withstand or prevent the onward march of the Christian faith. |
