Ephesians 6 15 As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. 16 With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Peace: In the Christian Way we don’t vanquish our enemies; we love them until they are won over. Our enemy is not the flesh and blood person but the harmful ideas and actions. We must not ever return evil with evil but return evil with good thereby dismantling the patterns of anger and violence that are directed at us.
Faith: Faith is not ideological belief. Faith is trust and allegiance. You can believe in UFO’s. You can believe in Jesus and not follow. When evil is assailing us the defense is to let God defend us. Trust in the way of Jesus even if it looks like the cross is coming because even if it does, the resurrection is also coming. Better to die under attack and let the power of resurrection rebuild us than to live but leave the way of Jesus.
