How to fight spiritual battles – Attempts at Honesty


    “There are plenty of problems facing the world today. We can worry about them. We can talk about them. We can protest in the streets. We can form organizations that pressure politicians to solve them. We can give money. We can write blogs. The one thing we must do is pray. If Samuel does not pray, David is never identified as the solution to Israel’s problem. Do you see the connection? Are you frustrated with your nation’s chief executive? Pray. Are you fearful concerning your city’s poverty or crime sprees? Pray. Are you worried about your nation’s moral fiber? Pray. Are you fretting about your children and their walk with God? Pray. Pray and listen. The two go together. Then be ready to act—not to rush out and solve the problem yourself.” — Fearless by Faith: How to Fight Today’s Spiritual Battles by Brother Andrew, Al Janssen

        But what are they for so many? – Attempts at Honesty

        There are so many problems in our culture that it is easy to become overwhelmed just by listening to the news. Certainly, to get improved ratings the news curators pick stories based on their shock value, so things are likely not as bad as what the media outlets portray. But still, our own experience validates the fact that there is much brokenness in our world.
