• {v.19-20} If we depend on the world to furnish our weapons, we will find ourself resourceless for combatting it. Our weapon is the Word.  How can we use it against the world, if we consent to give the world the right to teach the Word to us and to dispense the Word to us? In this way the world has the means in its hands to bring us into bondage, and it will not leave us any portion of this Word except that which poses no threat to itself. (“1 Samuel 13” by H.L. Rossier)
