What are the influences that shape our lives and either make us a man or woman of God or of little use to mankind? Pastor A.W. Tozer lists six: Our friends, the literature we read, the music we listen to, the pleasures we seek, the ambitions we hold, and the thoughts we entertain.

Too busy for Scripture? Drowning in daily worries? What if the very thing you’re neglecting is the one thing that could carry you through the chaos? John Chrysostom, one of the early church fathers, reminds us that Scripture is not just a book—it’s our full armor. Just as a tradesman can't work without his tools, we can’t fight life’s battles without the Word of God. It is our weapon, our shield, our lifeline. Don’t go into the day unarmed—pick up your sword and step into strength.

Prudence is seeing the world as it truly is. Culture, from time immemorial, often hides true reality with a mask of gratification and pleasure. The world espouses messages like, “Sworn to fun! Loyal to none!”, but this is not the truth. Being unfaithful, in the end, is a painful life. As we soak in culture, at the movie theatres and elsewhere, we must have wise brains that question the messages the world gives us by asking, “but is that actually true?”
