"It's an entirely different thing to have the courage to engage. You know what happens if you shoot at the enemy? They'll shoot back."

I am finally discovering the truth highlighted here, that knowing one's sins are forgiven gives one courage. It's not a mustering up of courage but the freedom to be courageous. So much good content and encouragement here. Thank you

I'm blessed by much in this message, but I'm troubled by the referencing back to the old covenant Israelites, where Toby compares the new covenant church "fighting" like an old covenant Israelite without the blessing of God. This is a very troubling teaching and I'd even say dangerous. I realize it's a consistent teaching for the Presbyterian and their covenant theology, but I think it's wrong. Fundamentally wrong.

Consider 1 Corinthians 10:1-11, and Romans 15:4
