Sword of the Spirit

by Alistair Begg

Acts 8:26–40
 (ID: 3760)

As with the Wallace Sword, some may consider the sword of the Spirit historically of interest but practically useless in our contemporary world. Yet the Bible does not belong in a museum with outmoded and irrelevant weapons, contends Alistair Begg; it belongs in our hands, an active, two-edged sword. God still uses His Word to pierce the soul, and it is our responsibility to invest our time, talents, and resources to utilize its power.
