How to put up a good fight

June 13, 2012

Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

1 Timothy 6:12

Reggie White, the great NFL defensive player and a Christian, was playing in a game where he was tackling the quarterback over and over again. He was simply beating his blocker every time. The ball would snap… and boom! Reggie was in the backfield making the tackle.

This went on for almost the entire game when late in the fourth quarter, he went over to the fellow who had been trying to block him all day. He reached down to help him off the ground, and when he got up, Reggie told him, “Hey, Jesus loves you and I love you. But you better learn to block!”

Like that gentleman, many Christians don’t know how to block. In fact, they don’t even know how to fight at all against sin and the enemy. But as believers, you and I are built to do battle. We are hard-wired to fight the good fight of faith and give everything God’s given us to resist our adversaries: the world, the flesh, and the devil.

In Christ, you have every tool you need at your disposal to resist the enemy and have real spiritual victory. So contend earnestly for the faith, fighting tooth and nail and clinging to the promise you have of ultimate victory!

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH BOLDLY, CLINGING TO THE PROMISE OF YOUR ULTIMATE VICTORY!

Learn how to defeat your doubts!

Dear Friend,

Many believers today find it easy to have faith when times are good. But when things get tough, they struggle with doubt as the foundations of what they believe are shaken.

To help you learn to defeat your doubts, I want to send you two powerful resources: the Why Believe, Part 2 CD series and a copy of the Share the Good News®New Testament.

These two resources will help you build the kind of faith that will weather the storms of life and conquer your doubts. And they’re my gifts to thank you for your donation to help PowerPoint Ministries continue to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ.

I pray these resources will strengthen and encourage you for powerful daily living!

Jack Graham
