Belt and Breastplate
What does it mean to stand firm when we cannot even see the enemy coming at us? Drawing from Ephesians 6:14, this message takes us deep into the first two pieces of the armor of God: the belt of truth and the breastplate of righteousness. Just as a legendary basketball coach began every season by teaching his players the most basic skill of putting on their socks correctly, our spiritual defense begins with mastering the fundamentals. Truth is the belt that holds everything together. When we do not know what Scripture actually says, we become vulnerable to the enemy's oldest tactic: twisting God's words just enough to throw us off balance. We see this play out when Satan tempts Jesus in the wilderness, quoting Scripture but distorting its meaning. The message challenges us to ask ourselves honestly whether we truly know the truths of Scripture, not complex doctrines or theological debates, but the foundational realities that God's word clearly speaks. The more grounded we are in those truths, the more quickly we recognize when something is off. This is not abstract or academic. It is the difference between standing firm and being swept off our feet. If you want help in starting this journey, please don't hesitate to reach out!
