Soldiers Of Christ

Contributed by John White on May 11, 2017

One of the most challenging metaphors of the Christian life is presented in this simple passage. Here, as in his letter to the Ephesians, Paul compares Christian life to a soldier called to wage spiritual warfare. (Eph. 6:10-18)

Return To Gilgal

Contributed by Scott Nichols on Feb 27, 2011

In Joshua, the children of Israel set up 12 stones at Gilgal to remind them of what God had done. How do we remember the blessings of God?
