2 Corinthians 10:4 (NLT)
We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.
My best weapons? Prayer and the Bible.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword.
Almighty God, work Your words into my prayers. Let me fight every false argument with Your truth, all human reasoning with Your wisdom. For my sake, for the sake of those I know and love, and for the sake of those I’ve yet to meet, bring on Your weapons of truth.
Using words to fight ain’t my bag,
and I’m not thus in the lists.
Language-battle’s laser-tag,
and I’d rather fight with fists.
It’s not that I would denigrate
the power of an agile voice,
but if you knew me you would hesitate
to say I even had a choice.
To say I’m thug-like does not quite
make manifest my physical charm,
and while, no, I do not bite,
my very presence brings alarm.
Let the learned war from books
while I will just put up my dukes.
‘Lists’ is an archaic word for the boundaries of a jousting-ground.
To the contrary, Andrew, you duke it out with words better than anyone else I know.
Wow…I’m floored. Thanks! 🙂
You made my day!
