Why Contending for the Faith Is for Genuine Believers

We’re living in a time when truth is questioned, convictions are mocked, and following Jesus often means swimming against the current. Yet this is exactly what genuine believers are called to do—to stand firm and contend for the faith. Authentic believers aren’t spectators in the fight for truth; they’re servants—called, kept, and empowered by Jesus. You don’t need to shout to make a difference, but you do need to stand when others bow. God is calling His people to live with courage, stay grounded in His Word, and hold fast to what’s right even when culture pushes hard in the opposite direction. Why Contending for the Faith Is for Genuine Believers, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

Why You Need To Beware Of Counterfeit Christians

In 2 Timothy 3:1–5, Paul warned that the last days would be filled with difficult people who appear godly but lack true spiritual power. These counterfeit Christians wear a mask of devotion yet deny the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. In this Light on Life teaching, Emery Horvath exposes what it means to have “a form of godliness,” why it’s dangerous, and how genuine believers can stay real, rooted, and full of God’s power in an age of deception. Why You Need To Beware Of Counterfeit Christians, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

Why Is the Loin Belt of Truth in the Armor of God Powerful?

Why Is the Loin Belt of Truth in the Armor of God Powerful?

The loin belt of truth is an astounding and necessary piece of the armor of God. Truth is a big deal – can we say a super big deal, especially in dark times? I ran across this quote that raised my eyebrows. Here it is: “Little by little evangelical Christians these days are being brainwashed. One piece of evidence is that increasing numbers of them are becoming ashamed to be found unequivocally on the side of truth. They say they believe but their beliefs have been so diluted as to be impossible to clear definition.”1 My my! What a dangerous habit to not take sides with the truth. It’s lethal because the loin belt of truth is what holds all of the armor of God together. Paul listed the pieces individually for us in Ephesians six. In today’s podcast, we dive into this radical piece of God’s armor meant for the believer. Why Is the Loin Belt of Truth in the Armor of God Powerful? — that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

Your Powerful Victory Over Satan the Liar [Podcast]

our Powerful Victory Over Satan the Liar [Podcast]

It’s crucial to expose Satan as the Liar he is. D.L. Moody wrote the following about lying and liars. He said, ‘You cannot offer a man a greater insult than to tell him he is a liar. Unbelief is telling God He is a liar. Suppose a man said, “Mr. Moody, I have no faith in you whatever.” Don’t you think it would grieve me? There is not anything that would wound a man much more than to be told that you do not have any faith in him.

A great many men say, “Oh, I have profound reverence and respect for God.” Yes, profound respect, but not faith. Why it is a downright insult! Suppose a man says, “Mr. Moody, I have profound respect for you, profound admiration for you, but I do not believe a word you say.” I wouldn’t give much for his respect or admiration; I wouldn’t give much for his friendship. God wants us to put our faith in Him. How it would wound a mother’s feelings to hear her children say, “I do love mamma so much, but I don’t believe what she says,” How it would grieve that mother.

And that is about the way a great many of God’s professed children talk. Some men seem to think it is a great misfortune that they do not have faith. Bear in mind it is not a misfortune, but it is the damning sin of the world.1 Your Powerful Victory Over Satan the Liar, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

The Believers Authority in Christ

by

Writing in Moody Monthly, Carl Armerding recounted his experience of watching a wildcat in a zoo. “As I stood there,” he said, “an attendant entered the cage through a door on the opposite side. He had nothing in his hands but a broom. Carefully closing the door, he proceeded to sweep the floor of the cage.” He observed that the worker had no weapon to ward off an attack by the beast. In fact, when he got to the corner of the cage where the wildcat was lying, he poked the animal with the broom. The wildcat hissed at him and then lay down in another corner of the enclosure. Armerding remarked to the attendant, “You certainly are a brave man.” “No, I ain’t brave,” he replied as he continued to sweep. “Well, then that cat must be tame.” “No,” came the reply, “he ain’t tame.” “If you aren’t brave and the wildcat isn’t tame, then I can’t understand why he doesn’t attack you.” Armerding said the man chuckled, then replied with an air of confidence, “Mister, he’s old—and he ain’t got no teeth.” 1 That’s an accurate description of Satan the roaring lion who seeks to devour (1 Peter 5:8). He is a defeated lion with no teeth. But, that doesn’t stop him from making a bunch of noise. In order to enforce his defeat, and to shut his mouth, you have to learn to call his bluff. You can do it if you know his devices.

This is part three of the Series entitled, ‘The Believer’s Authority in Christ’. You can find Part One ‘How to Terrorize the Terrorist Encore [Podcast]‘ here and Part Two ‘How to Stop Satan from Pushing You Around‘ here.

Do You Have A Truth Teller In Your Life?

There were three profound things about Christopher Columbus’ discovery of America. First, when he left Spain he did not know where he was going. Second, when he arrived in the New World he did not know where he was. Third, when he returned to Ferdinand in his court he didn’t know where he had been. In addition, he did it all on borrowed money. Columbus did not know much but he did a great thing simply because He believed He could. He had a level of confidence in his tomorrow or he would have never jumped on that ship. But, believing he could was only one factor to this success story. Columbus did not pilot the ship by himself. He had help. There were other people on board. That’s what this post is about; the other people on your ship. You need the people God has put in your life in order to help you navigate and fulfill your destiny.
