My Faith's Armory

What does being armed mean? Someone generally can say being armed means to have weapons. For instance, sometimes you'll hear on the radio or TV that police have suspects at gunpoint who are armed and dangerous.

Let's take that concept, being armed and dangerous, and apply that to Christian Faith. It's important for all Christians to have faith, but equally important, is for them to arm themselves. The scripture refers to this as the "Armor of God". Better explanations of the armor can be found here at www.realarmorofgod.com.

Christians will typically take up the armor, but tend to falter against a new enemy. Nowadays, Christians are faced with new challenges in life, but I'm not talking about regular life problems that everyone faces. I'm talking about ideas that stick to your head, threatening what I and other Christians believe in. Some call these ideas evolution, atheism, and even agnosticism. If you fall in any of these categories, I hope to excite you and invite you to spar with me as we take up this journey of challenging faiths. We will then be able to see who is better armed in their truths.

I implore everyone to follow along and keep an open mind. You may not agree with what I have to say and I may not agree with you. However, if we all keep an open mind, everyone can benefit as we might be able to learn from each other.
