Have you ever felt like you could just coast for a little while in your faith—take your foot off the gas and assume everything will be fine? That’s exactly what the enemy wants. 1 Peter 5:8 warns us to stay spiritually vigilant. Because when we stop paying attention, we’re at the most risk. Angie and Katie kick off a brand-new series designed to equip you to fight the lies of the enemy with the truth of God’s Word. The enemy may be on the prowl, but God has already given us everything we need to stand strong. 1 Peter 5:8 (NIV) Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. https://livesteadyon.com/ [https://livesteadyon.com/] https://www.logos.com/ [https://www.logos.com/] https://enduringword.com/ [https://enduringword.com/] https://www.wordhippo.com/ [https://www.wordhippo.com/] https://www.biblegateway.com/ [https://www.biblegateway.com/] https://www.blueletterbible.org/ [https://www.blueletterbible.org/] Roger M.
