THE war

The REAL War

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. —Ephesians 6:12

Keep that passage in mind when you watch this NBC news report.

I don't know about you but I was hurt after watching that. I know that I can't expect those who are still slaves to sin to respect the Bible. You either belong to Christ or to sin. There isn't a 3rd option. Ultimately we all have to choose what side we are on. But the best way that I can sum it up is a quote from C.S. Lewis:

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.

Congrats to Florida on winning the BCS title. So much for the debate that Ohio State and Michigan should have been #1 and #2. Both lost! Sorry guys, I was routing for ya.

GOD'S MESSAGE FOR ME TODAY
"'Cursed is he who does not confirm the words of this law by doing them.'" —Deuteronomy 27:26a

HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO MY LIFE?
Paul quotes this verse in Galations 3:10 to prove that mankind is under a curse because no one follow the law of God fully. God's blessings have never been earned, but have always been freely given.
