    We need to put on the full armor of God, and not the armor of the world, in order to succeed in life.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,387 views

    we need to resist the pressures of our culture to conform unthinkingly to the status quo and to compromise on the major principles of our faith. We need to recover the radical edge of Jesus’ teaching, that turns the values of the world upside down.

    So, how do we know the Bible is authentic and not just a collection of opinions? There are two ways chiefly, and I would like you to consider them with me today:
