Hook: What is your shield in battle?

I. FAITH
"Religious faith surpasses reason, but it is not irrational.” – J. Budziszewski

II. WORSHIP
"In the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship.” – David Foster Wallace

III. TRUST
“Living as Christian is not walking a tightrope without a safety net high above a breathless crowd, many of whom would like nothing better than the morbid thrill of seeing you fall; it is sitting secure in a fortress.” – Eugene Peterson

Take-away: You cannot serve God and Mammon (Matthew 6:24).
