Standing Firm Together

Paul finishes Ephesians with this section so that we would take the devil seriously. That we – St Nic’s Rockingham – would know we are in a real, viscous, spiritual war.We can’t see this war  – but we feel its blows.We’re not  threatened with bombs – but this war threatens to knock us off our feet – as we seek to live for Jesus.The battle scars are wrecked lives, broken marriages, split churches and Christians giving-up on Jesus… or just sliding back into the old pre-Jesus life.One preacher said: “We think of the world not as a battleground, but a playground”This passage is in the bible so that we would know we live in a battleground, take the devil seriously and stand firm.
