The Breastplate Of Righteousness Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Oct 19, 2014

We utilize what God has issued us for the conflict. We need protection. Which breastplate are we trusting? Our own, or Christ's righteousness? Don't go to war without the Breastplate of Righteousness.

In today’s military, a critical element of force protection is body armor. The Army issues Kevlar flak vests to soldiers to protect their upper body. DuPont, the manufacturer, claims they’re lightweight, but I’d disagree. It doesn’t take long to feel weighed down. ...read more
