Empty Gap in Posts

There was a long time between posts from November to this last month.  The reason being I was working on an article that grew larger than I had anticipated.  As such, it turned into an 80 page booklet.

The Armament of God

The Apostle Paul metaphorically tells us to “put on the whole armor of God” but what does that mean and why do we need to put it on? How does one go about wearing the armor of God? This book discusses the pieces of the armor. It describes the meaning of each of the elements and the forms of the devil’s attacks. In the western world we tend to ignore or even scoff at the concept of a spiritual world. Some even allegorize the devil as not real. Paul, in each of his letters, warns that he is real and this battle is real and we need to be properly equipped to engage in the spiritual warfare waged around us. For this, we need to learn to utilize the entire Armament of God.

It is popular to teach that Paul was chained to a Roman soldier when he wrote this and that is where he got the idea for the metaphor.  While this may be useful, this book will show that these metaphors are used throughout the bible in the same way consistantly making the source for the armament more than just convenient imagery.  It has a deeper meaning which speaks of the integrity of the text of the bible as a whole.

This book covers each part in detail.  Crosses it definition with other locations throughout the bible and gives practical advice on how to apply each part.  Including the fiery darts Paul wrote about but I find are often glossed over especially in western culture.
