This Dude’s Nickname Is Gold

We’ve all met that one guy at church who thinks he’s got the ‘spiritual gift’ of ‘dropping truth bombs’, when what he’s really up to is the doing devil’s dirty work for him.

Or have we so soon forgotten that the naughtiness we’re so quick to run someone out of a church for and the stuff we all to easily put up with don’t exactly match up with the lists we see in the Verbum Dei?

When’s the last time you’ve seen cowardice, envy, sloth, or divisiveness called out from a pulpit? Because that’s on God’s own Big Seven list.

When you take your time walking through the text, letting it speak to you, you pick up on some things you might otherwise miss. Like the emphasis on what made the church so strong in the midst of persecution. And why today’s church should care about one first century dude’s nickname.

Psalms Of War: Prayers That Literally Kick Ass

Psalms of War: Prayers That Literally Kick Ass is a collection, from the book of Psalms, regarding how David rolled in prayer. I bet you haven’t heard these read, prayed, or sung in church against our formidable enemies — and therein lies the Church’s problem. We’re not using the spiritual weapons God gave us to waylay the powers of darkness. It might be time to dust them off and offer ‘em up if you’re truly concerned about the state of Christ’s Church and of our nation.

Also included in this book, Psalms of War, are reproductions of the author’s original art from his Biblical Badass Series of oil paintings.

This is a great gift for the prayer warriors. Real. Raw. Relevant.
