Books are fatiguing

There are prophets galore in the Old Testament, 5 books of instruction, lots of letters, but only one prophecy.  The world needs no  authoritative book. I have only 10 fingers.  Ten chapters or paragraphs can be huge, but sentences forces the writer to be concise and cogent.

Shields Up

Above all, take the shield of faith…

Ephesians 6:16a

You may have been taught that the Christian’s shield is (a) his promise to follow and (b) the reliability of his performance. Let us be persuaded about our security.

Abraham’s Shield Should Shake us from our Slumber

After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

Genesis 15:1
