"And They Crucified Him..." A medical doctor provides a physical description:

The cross is placed on the ground and the exhausted man is quickly thrown backwards with his shoulders against the wood. 

The legionnaire feels for the depression at the front of the wrist. 

He drives a heavy, square wrought-iron nail through the wrist deep into the wood.

 Quickly he moves to the other side and repeats the action, being careful not to pull the arms too tightly, but to allow some flex and movement.

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.
