  1. Pray and Post a Guard

    Comments Off on Pray and Post a Guard
    Pray and Post a Guard — a word by Pastor Josh Whitney from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Nehemiah’s response is one of my favorites in all Scripture: “We prayed to our God and posted a guard. ”That’s it. Prayer and action."

    Nehemiah 4:9 — “But we prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet this threat.”

    At our Men’s Nights this year, we’ve been studying Nehemiah. He returns to Jerusalem to rebuild the wall — and immediately faces opposition. Enemies threaten, intimidate, and scheme. Nehemiah’s response is one of my favorites in all Scripture: “We prayed to our God and posted a guard.”

    That’s it. Prayer and action. Dependence and responsibility. They didn’t choose between spiritual and practical. Instead, they did both. Some people only pray. Others only act. Faithful believers do both.

  2. Shield of Faith

    Leave a Comment
    Shield of Faith – a word by Pastor Tony D'Amico from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "It’s a shield that deflects the lies, temptations, and fears, as well as the doubts that Satan throws at us."

    “In all circumstances, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one.” — Ephesians 6:16

    Paul used this metaphor to represent the Christian’s faith and belief in God. This shield unquestionably extinguishes all (not just some) of the flaming darts the evil one shoots at you.

    Just as a physical shield protects a warrior in battle, so, too, the Shield of Faith protects us from the devil’s spiritual attacks. It’s a shield that deflects the lies, temptations, and fears, as well as the doubts that Satan throws at us.
