  Section 1: Take a Stand! There are three sections to Part 1. Philippians 4:1- “Therefore, my brethren and dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.” Some people reject the military side of the Christian life. I appreciate those who want to see peace on earth; however, as long as sin exists in this world, the battle between Satan’s forces and God’s people will rage on. Anyone who chooses to be on the side of the Lord Jesus Christ will face severe opposition from Satan and his followers. And those who refuse to fight will fall in the heat of the battle. The Bible frequently uses the images of war to depict the Christian life.

When we sin, we need to go to Jesus Christ and ask Him to forgive us. In 1 John 1:9, it tells us, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Jesus will always forgive us. Just because we know He will always forgive us doesn’t mean we keep sinning and just keep asking Him for forgiveness be...
