    God enables the growth which obtains the prize.

    Scripture Introduction Some say that you know you are old when you quit looking forward and only look back. Maybe some truth hides in that slogan?

    57th in a series from Ephesians. When we become a follower of Jesus, we enlist in a spiritual war so we need to be prepared for the battle.
