En Garde
En Garde. My Aunt Gin (Virginia) fenced when she was in college. As a kid I remember her showing me her sword
fighting regalia: foil, mask, plastron and lame. I always thought it would be
cool to learn to fence…I never did. In the Gospel of Matthew Jesus essentially tells us to be En Garde
- we are to “watch and pray.” The
word watch in this verse means to have the alertness of a guard at night, to
be on guard. We
are warned that we can be too easily distracted by the temptations
of the world; that we could easily be ensnared if we don’t practice some
self-control. Today, be on-guard, watch and pray, be vigilant and be aware of the
schemes of the enemy. Peace…Pastor Keith #minmchurch #churchpearland
