Ephesians 6 talks about how to confront evil:
You stand firm, you put on the belt of truth and the breastplate of righteousness.
For your shoes – whatever helps you get out there and preach.
You take on the shield of faith to defend yourself against Satan’s arrows.
And the helmet of salvation.
These are all defensive things. You “take up” the sword, but it doesn’t even say to use it.
Struggling to fight evil?
Stop attacking it.
Start defending yourself and the ground you stand on.
That’s enough. Trust in God to defeat Satan. Your role in the fight is to not yield.
Cool stuff – I think we can handle that.
But can we handle this?
