“The cross is Jesus going into the very lair of death. He goes to meet head-on that which frightens us the most. And what does He do? He battles it. He engages it. And finally he conquers it.” DoeJesusBattleCrossesConquer Author:Robert Barron
“If you're going to stand up for Jesus, your life will be a battle between light and darkness. And for everything that God will bring into your life that represents the light, the devil-he's such a sly fox-will come at you with two times more attributes of evil.” IfsTwoLightEvilJesusDarknessBattleDevilGods WillAttributesFoxesLight And DarknessLight And DarkSly Author:Billy Ray Cyrus
“The gospel teaches us that though we may have lost a battle or two, the war is not yet over. With the Lord's help and the hope of the gospel, we can win out in the end. Truth ultimately triumphs over falsehood. Evil is overwhelmed by goodness. Sin, however extreme it may have been, can give way to cleansing and refreshing forgiveness. This is the great hope of the gospel, centered as it is in the life, mission and atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ.” WayGivingMayHas BeensTwoWarEndsHelpingEvilJesusWinningLostChristSinLordTeachSacrificeBattleGoodnessJesus ChristExtremesMissionsTriumphFalsehoodOverwhelmedRefreshingCleansingGreat Hope Author:David S.

“We are foolish to expect to serve God without opposition: the more zealous we are, the more sure are we to be assailed... Glory be to God, we know the end of the war. The great dragon shall be cast out and for ever destroyed, while Jesus and they who are with him shall receive the crown. Let us sharpen our swords to-night, and pray the Holy Spirit to nerve our arms for the conflict. Never battle so important, never crown so glorious. Every man to his post, ye warriors of the cross, and may the Lord tread Satan under your feet shortly!” KnowsMenMayImportantWarEndsSpiritNightJesusLordFeetArmsPrayingHolyBattleConflictGloryCrossesCastsFoolishEvery ManDestroyedWarriorPostsSatanHoly SpiritGloriousOppositionDragonsNervesCrownsServing GodZealous Author:Charles Spurgeon
