Be Strong and Gear UP

Paul said to be strong in the Lord. This is a statement we hear all to often the question is what does this mean? I mean how can we be strong in the Lord in the first place. How as the Church do we stay strong with everything fighting us and coming after us? How can we truly be protected from the issues of the world? We have to be geared up so that we can defend ourselves. God’s given us the tools we need but if we try and wear someone else’s armor it’s not going to fit right and we’re leaving ourselves open for attack. We must be strong and courageous and make sure that our armor is tight!
