Welcome to the line of fire where all this week and all this month we are studying the beauty of holiness

and how God wants to make us like his son Jesus in thought and word and mind and deed and heart and content and life.

Michael Brown here, welcome to the line of fire where we are committed to infuse you with faith and truth and courage to help you stand strong on the front lines.

We say it every day, but all of us are in the line of fire.

It's not just a radio broadcast.

It's not just the name of our ministry.

It is a reality today. We are all in the

line of fire and you better believe it. We have to go against the grain of the world and the flesh

and the devil. And that means walking in the power of the spirit to live holy and godly lies.

By God's grace, we can be transformed individuals.

And rather than sin being the rule of our lives,

sin can be the exception to the rule by the power of the word of God

and the indwelling spirit.

All right, before we open the word together,

and then this week, we get into 20 reasons

not to send. Practical helps, practical steps, practical things. Someone will grip you and you'll grab hold of it, and it'll be a lifesaver in the years to come. Before we do that, are you getting our frontline newsletter sent out once a month?

And we are putting together the newsletter content now for this month.

Every month I really pray over the lead message to, Lord, what will really speak to your people?

And then a great testimony or two, we include.

And then a Hebrew word of the month and book excerpts and a special quote that will stir your

heart, some of our favorites, all that and more every single month. So go to the lineoffire.org.
