Ephesians 6:17 tells us, the Word of God is the sword of the Spirit. Let's keep our swords sharpened!

The Word of God is the sword with which we do spiritual battle. You must study His Word regularly if you want to keep your spiritual sword sharp and wield it effectively. In this book, Joseph G. Misiaszek embarks on a daily journey through Scripture, challenging you to take your faith deeper and walk even closer to the Lord. The title—Daily Sword Sharpening—comes from Proverbs 27:17, “As Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” As you read, it is the author’s fervent hope that you not only keep your sword sharp but also utilize it to sharpen others, encourage others, and support others. The author emphasizes that even though the Bible was written over several thousand years and completed about two thousand years ago, truth is truth and is always applicable. For truth to exist, there can only be one source—and that source is God. Challenge yourself to read God’s Word daily and open yourself to the Holy Spirit as He applies Scripture to your life, and through you, to the lives of others.

Sharpen Your Sword contains a wealth of information and help for the believer in their knowledge and use of the Word of God. Also called "the sword of the Spirit," the Bible should be the weapon we use daily in spiritual warfare. However, the Sword is useless if it is not picked up. It is also meaningless if we do not study and use it properly. This book begins with an introduction, or overview, of the Bible. It also contains vital help for reading, studying, and memorizing the Scriptures. Other chapters explore some of the most significant texts regarding understanding the Bible, such as 2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 19, and Psalm 119. The Sword of the Spirit has been given to the believer to help gain victory. I pray this book will aid each reader in skillfully wielding his Sword.

The Word of God teaches us to put on the whole armor of God, which is our defense against the attacks of our Enemies, who threatens our spiritual lives on a daily basis. Among our impenetrable amour is the sword, which is symbolic of the Word of God. But in order for us to take up and wield our sword in a manner that honors the severity of the battle, we must first understand the fundamentals of Scripture. After becoming a believer at the age of thirty-eight, Robert L. Carroll became filled with the need to leave what he has learned of the Word's truth for those around him once he's joined the Father in Heaven. His work, Sharpen Your Sword, was written with both the new and seasoned believer in mind. As a newborn baby knows nothing of the world immediately, Carroll begins this journey of faith with readers as if they are just being born into truth of God's Word. Carroll walks readers through the requirements of being a believer of the Word of God. He does so by establishing the validity of the Scriptures, who we are as a people and how we got here, Who God is, our relationship with Him, and many other key topics relevant to the Christian walk. Of the many gospels being preached worldwide, only one is true, and it is revealed in the Word of God, the message of Jesus Christ as read in Scripture. New and old believers alike are being deceived by false preaching, leading many to wrongly believe that they have been saved. However, the only true path to salvation is laid out in the Word, and Carroll hopes to help all who desire it to correct their course.

With this devotional study, your walk with Jesus will be deepened through reflection questions, journaling, prayer, and transformational tips for practical applications in your life. The exploration through these pages will lead you down the path to the spacious life that Jesus died for you to have.

New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.
