Today’s lesson brings us to the next to last piece of God-ordained armor for the Jesus lover, the Helmet of Salvation. Having the right mindset is essential for the believer. God knew that the battle for the mind would be ferocious at times. What does this helmet of salvation do for the child of God? It keeps us focused on our salvation. Why You Must Be Serious about Wearing the Helmet of Salvation, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

Our study on the armor of God brings us today to the shield of faith. What an essential piece of armor this is. As Jesus followers, The Father God has generously equipped us with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit. But it’s up to us to put them on and put them to use. The question is are you using the shield of faith? Why the Shield of Faith Is More Than a Match for Devils, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

As we continue to look at the armor of God, we are reminded that we are to put on the shoes of peace. Peace is our message and our environment. We walk in peace, we live in peace, and we proclaim peace. But what are these shoes all about? That’s the question we are going to look at in today’s podcast. How the Gospel Shoes of Peace Helps a Holy Warrior Win. That’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

Our study on the armor of God brings us to the Breastplate of Righteousness. Why is righteousness considered such an essential piece? Why is it a weapon for good and for God? To what extent should we go after an understanding of this valuable piece of armor? These are all good questions. If you remember, Jesus told us to hunger and thirst after righteousness. In the barren, and frigid world in which we live, starving for right and righteousness, is an intense thought. The Who What When and Why of the Breastplate Of Righteousness. That’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

The loin belt of truth is an astounding and necessary piece of the armor of God. Truth is a big deal - can we say a super big deal, especially in dark times. My my! What a dangerous habit to not take sides with the truth. It’s lethal because the loin belt of truth is what holds all of the armor of God together. Paul listed the pieces individually for us in Ephesians six. In today’s podcast, we dive into this radical piece of God’s armor meant for the believer. Why Is the Loin Belt of Truth in the Armor of God Powerful? — that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

Paul, in Ephesians 6:12, what’s us to know that our combat is not with people. It’s not with flesh and blood, but with levels of devils. He likens this conflict to a wrestling match. If you have ever seen a wrestling match, you know it is not pretty. How do you win this engagement? We are talking about the whole armor of God today: “How You Wrestle Against Levels of Devils and Win” all on this week’s Light on Life.

When the Bible speaks of putting on the whole armor of God, what does that mean? The second question we must ask is what is its purpose? Why do we need this armor? These are the questions that we are endeavoring to answer.  How To Put On and Step Out with the Whole Armor Of God. That’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

In Ephesians 6:10, we have the much-quoted verse, ‘Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. The strength and power of God are what all Jesus followers should excel in. But, how do you tap it? What is that all about? Answering this question with understanding is our focus today. What Does it Mean to Be Strong in the Lord? All on this week's Light on Life.

In a previous podcast [S#10-004 - Season 10 Episode 4], we discussed the employer-employee relationship as we are admonished by the word of God. How should Jesus followers act in the workplace? We aren’t to represent God just in the church house. We are to represent Him to the world. That’s why we are talking about More of Employers and Employees: What Is the Word of God to You — all on this week’s Light on Life.

In this week’s podcast, the book of Ephesians chapter six brings us to the subject of employers and employees and their conduct towards one another. All of this is within the framework of being filled with the Spirit found in Ephesians 5:18. What we need to do is bring this concept of the Spirit-filled life over into the workplace. Employers and employees, what is the Word of God to you, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

We are asking and answering the question, how does one live a long and prosperous life? The answer is found in Ephesians six as it relates to children’s interaction with their parents. When children obey their parents, long life and prosperity are the results. Living a long and prosperous life, how to guarantee it — that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

How should a Jesus-believing husband love his wife? We know that home life is under attack by the ungodly forces of unbelief. And, it’s evident why these attacks are occurring for nothing on earth is as beautiful as the home where Jesus reigns. The scripture says that husbands should love their wives as their own body. But, what does that mean, exactly? How a Jesus Believing Husband Should Love His Wife in God — that’s what we are talking about in this week’s Light on Life.

We are in Ephesians five, talking today about the subject of submission and its connection to authority. Submission and authority is a vitally essential truth that God established both in heaven and on earth. Much disharmony has come because of a lack of understanding of what it means to voluntarily submit to one another in a spirit of humility and love. Thank God that Jesus moved in the realm of submission and because He did, he now has ultimate authority. What the Word of God Teaches about Submission and Authority, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life

Being filled with the Holy Spirit via psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs is the focus of our podcast and this post today. The Spirit of God has given utterance to many songs and hymns throughout the centuries. But what are they? Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs are utterances given by the Spirit of God, and they are evidence of being filled with the Spirit. How can we learn to flow in these areas? What Does It Mean to Be Filled with the Spirit of God? — that’s the core of this week’s Light on Life.

Today, our study in Ephesians chapter five brings us to the subject of time: specifically, redeeming time. How does one go about this 'time redemption?' Is it possible to recover lost time? What should our attitude as Jesus' followers be towards the use of time? These are all excellent questions, and drilling down into them is the focus of this podcast. What’s the Connection between Evil Days and Redeeming the Time? All this and more on this week's Light on Life.

Today, we are talking about the subject of exposing evil. Evil is not to be babysat. It’s not to be tolerated or gotten used to. The believer is strongly warned. He cannot live in the darkness of this world and expect the light of God to guide him throughout life. At times, this means overcoming the uncomfortableness of confrontation. But isn't it better to rescue a wayward believer and help him right his course? That’s the question that we are proposing today. Why Your Monumental Mission in Life Is to Expose Evil — that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

In today’s podcast, we examine one of the most well-known questions that Jesus' followers pose — how do I discern the will of God for life? We could simplify the question to 'what is God’s will for my life?' This is an essential query that you must walk out in your everyday life. The answer to this doesn’t come by wondering — it comes by an active, diligent, heartfelt seeking of God. How to Absolutely Discern the Will of God: What the Bible Says, that's our focus on this week's Light on Life.

From our study in Ephesians, we look at the Kingdom of God from a slightly different point of view. We are talking about inheriting the Kingdom of God not. The Bible details for us those who will not inherit the Kingdom. Ten People Who Will Not Inherit The Kingdom Of God: What You Should Know — all on this on this week’s Light on Life.

This is Thanksgiving week, and it just so happens that we are coming to a verse in Ephesians chapter five that contains an admonition to thankfulness. How cool is that? Right on time — right on target. So, thankfulness is the subject today - but in the context of the verse that we will be looking at there is a strong link to morals. What's the connection? That's what we are going to look at in this podcast. Why the Holy Spirit Connection between Morals and Thanksgiving Matters, that's our focus on this week's Light on Life.

Morals matter. That’s the message today, and, may I say, this topic is an unpopular one in today’s climate. The New Testament is full of admonitions along the line of right living. The fact that this message lacks the pizzaz that the world desires doesn’t matter. It’s still the right message for this hour. What steps should a believer take to ensure the fact they are an effective witness for Jesus in these last days? How to Live a Victorious Life in a Morally Bankrupt World, that's our focus on this week's Light on Life.
