Not knowing what to fight with

1 Sam. 14:20

As the Israelites were going to war against the Philistines, they came upon them and saw that “the Philistines were fighting against each other in great confusion” (1 Sam. 14:20). The Israelites then easily defeated the Philistines.

Many Christians today are like the Philistines. They are confused. They do not know what to fight against. They have become inured to all the sins surrounding them. They have accepted sins and have been living with them. They have become easy to defeat.

Let us therefore look into what the Bible says about sin and look into ourselves once more and remove all the filths that have amassed over the years of neglect.
