Read John 15:4-5
By Steve Tucker
One of the main objectives of football squads on both sides of the football is to isolate and separate opposing players in order to take away the effectiveness of the opposing team as a unified group. By isolating defensive players the offense has a greater chance of gaining valuable yardage and even scoring. Likewise, by breaking down the unity of the offensive line the defense has a better opportunity to disrupt the play for a loss of yardage.
In the same manner Satan tries to do the same to individual Christians and to churches to render them ineffective in their ministry or witness. Only by being united in the Lord can a group of believers expect to have a winning church by increasing God’s kingdom.
Applying the Truth as an Individual
Are we as a family of believers maintaining a strong impenetrable line of defense against the wiles of Satan in his attempts to divide us and destroy unity?
Applying the Truth as a Church
It has been said that the best defense is to have a good offense. We have been equipped with the only offensive weapon we need, the sword of the spirit, God’s Holy Word.
