It's a Battlefield Out There

Every day, as we step out into the world, we enter a spiritual battlefield. Sin, temptation, and the forces of darkness wage war against our souls. 

We fight not with swords and shields but with faith, perseverance, and the grace of God. 

The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians, reminds us to put on the full armour of God to stand firm against the devil's schemes. Just like soldiers on the frontlines, we face daily skirmishes that test our resolve and challenge our faith.

In this article, I'll explore how we can equip ourselves with the armour of God, the importance of confession as a field hospital for the soul, and how, like the soldiers treated in the M*A*SH units during war, we can find healing, strength, and renewed courage to re-enter the battle.

The Desert Fathers - Solitude, Sand And Spirituality


In the vast, arid landscapes of the Egyptian desert, amidst the scorching heat and shifting sands, a remarkable group of early Christian ascetics sought solitude to deepen their relationship with God. 

These spiritual pioneers, known as the Desert Fathers, retreated from the distractions of the world to live lives of prayer, fasting, and contemplation. 

Their wisdom and insights continue to influence Christian spirituality today.
