Training to Withstand the Forces of the World
Eph. 6:10-17 I recently had the opportunity to attend the NW District Assembly and heard some amazing preaching. One sermon that hit home was preached by our District Superintendent, David Mowry. It dealt with withstanding the pressures of the world (my summary and meaning). In his sermon he mentioned the forces of gravity which really struck home for me. In college I was enrolled in the Air Reserve Officer Training Corps, preparing for commissioning as a Second Lieutenant. In…
