SERE Part 1: Survival Training
I’ve recently been reading about the experiences of POWs. One helicopter pilot, a member of the Army’s Special Operations Air Regiment, gave his SERE training the credit for his survival as a POW, in the early ‘90s. All the stories are so gut wrenching and intense that people like me with “ordinary” problems can’t even truly relate. For that reason, I’ve been very hesitant to write anything that draws parallels between what they went through and what I go through. The plain truth is, we are worlds and worlds a part. As I’ve read, however, verses continue to spring to mind, and I’m developing a perspective that I do believe can be fruitful for our spiritual lives...

EmailTaking Captives
2 Corinthians 10 addresses the issue of our spiritual warfare and the weapons in our arsenal. Verse 5: "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." How deliberately do you practice this verse? Do you take every thought captive? Or does your enemy have safe haven and unrestricted movement in your thoughts?
