What Is Christian Combat?

The idea of Christian Combat is nothing new…it’s really just a way of expressing the truth that God has called His people to fight those deceptions that evil uses to destroy lives and to destroy relationships — our relationships with God and with the people around us. 
Both rigorous studies and common experience show that in too many ways those in the Christian church in America today act fundamentally the same as do non-Christians.  Put simply, there is a deep-rooted deception that says, “I’ve said the Sinners Prayer, I’m saved by grace, now I’m just waiting for Jesus to come back…”

When we fail to LIVE our faith, the world around us suffers — we are neither salt nor light, and truthfully God tells us that faith without action is dead.

Does this mean we have to work our way into heaven?  Absolutely not.  Works do not save.  But the saved work…always.

Fight the good fight!
God will use you to change the world!!

Battlegrounds

Spiritual “battlegrounds” are areas of our lives where we battle the deceptions of the Enemy.   

The Battleground Within Us

What lies hold us back from God’s great plans for us? The Truth is…

Life is not about ME
We are NOT good
We need to act TODAY

The Battleground In Education

Our children are under spiritual assault at school.  Evil tries to convince us that…

Public education is spiritually neutral
Schools know better than parents “what’s best” for children
School is just about academics
School should be free

 

The Battleground In Politics

Are Christians supposed to engage in political battle? The deceiver would have us believe…

Politics and church don’t mix
The Bible doesn’t tell us how we should vote
People’s sin only hurts them

The Battleground
Of Media

How do we counter the unbiblical influences on the TV, the computer, the smartphone?  Evil wants us to…

Focus only on the extremes
Believe “it doesn’t affect me”
Believe that my time is my own

 

The Battleground At Home

What deceptions undermine our families?  We have to fight lies about…

Marriage
Parenting
Youth

The Battleground Of The Church

Why do so many of us praise God on Sunday and deny Him on Monday?  Perhaps because we’ve bought into the lies of…

I’m a consumer at church
Faith is about education

It’s my pastor’s church
All churches should be the same
