Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary

spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin

and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.

All right, day two, we're going to do just a couple of verses here.

Chapter 4, verses 6 and 7, Paul says to the church in Galatia, and God tells us these days

You are not your failure.

You are not your worst moment.

You are not your past. You are not your divorce. You were not your failure you are not your worst moment you are not your past you were not your divorce you were not your bankruptcy you are not your addiction you are not your sexual identity

that's not what you are but god calls you sons and this doesn't mean that we're all sons and

daughters no no no if you ever have a Bible

translation that shakes words like this and tries to say things like son and daughter, throw it out.

first century, only the first born son was an heir

to the title of what the father had. And so no matter who you are or what you've done, or whether

you're male or female or Jew or Gentile or slave or free, that when we get adopted,
