The Christian life is a battle ground, not a playground. We are part of the war between God and the forces of evil. As soldiers in God’s army, we must stand on business. There is too much at stake if we don’t. We must put on the full armor of God so that we will be ready to stand against the schemes of the devil.

STANDING ON BUSINESS!
The Christian life is a battle ground, not a playground. We are part of the war between God and the forces of evil. As soldiers in God’s army, we must stand on business.

ABSOLUTELY INVOLVED
Being active in church is more than just a Sunday thing. It is a commitment to be involved in the things of God every day.

AUTHENTICALLY INSPIRED
Life in Christ is a life that is led by the Holy Spirit. While people turn to crystals, the stars, incense, and many other things for guidance and inspiration, Christians walk in the spirit.

ADEQUATLEY INFORMED
Whether we ask Google, Siri or Alexa, answers are just a search away. For answers to life's more significant questions, the answer does not lie with Google, but with God.

ACTUALLY INVESTED
In a world full of fans, followers and band-wagoners, it is easy to lose sight of what it means to be all in for Christ. Following Christ requires commitment. It is entering into a covenant for life.

APPROPRIATELY INFLUENCED
Social media is full of influencers. We are all susceptible to influence. The key is for us to be appropriately influenced and become influencers for Christ.
