Let’s think about fighting as faithful stewardship. Faithful stewards fight to improve things, are compelled to be involved, and aren’t surprised by opposition. We show up each day to make a situation better. What stewardship do you need to be faithful in? Stay in the fight!
Nehemiah 4; Matthew 25:21

God’s enemies tempt us to compromise and conform. If the enemy is seeking to slow you down or thwart your purpose, you’re probably building something worthy of the fight. So go to the cross, surrender everything to God, and let Him revive your heart.

God’s Word and worship are weapons in the battle for God’s glory in our life and in the church. We need the Word as a “light for our path”; we need to worship so we might know God more personally. Worship fuels our fight to be God’s light.

When we go to church for fuel, we need to discern the quality of that fuel. We need to ask ourselves, “Is God’s Word preached?” despite the culture’s pressure to align with it and compromise biblical truth. We find fuel and courage for the fight only in God’s Word.
Ezra 3:1; Hebrews 10:25

Whatever fight you’re fighting, the best source for fuel is the church. We go to church to worship, fellowship, serve, be challenged, grow, and connect with God and fellow believers. At church we can also receive fuel and give fuel to others for the fights of our lives.
