Standing Against the Schemes of the Devil (Ephesians 6 10-20) 10-11-09
In contrast to popular ideas on spiritual warfare, the Bible teaches us that our main response to the Devil is not offensive, but defensive; we are called to resist him as we live, in word and deed, in light of Jesus' victory on the cross.

Loving the Unlovely
This pattern of message and mercy go hand and hand in the New Testament as a way of showing to the world the truth of the gospel. Gospel mercy becomes a non-verbal way of showing the gospel message is true. In Jesus’ mind the two go hand in hand and should never be separated, even if in our minds they are not joined. If the gospel message is true, that God has had great mercy upon us, then gospel mercy to others should become a natural response.
