Today in Christian History retweeted the following quotation on Twitter this morning: “Christians, take special care not to trust in the armour of God, but in the God of the armour.” (William Gurnall, The Christian in Complete Armour, Vol. 1, p. 67) The other side of the coin.

“in the spirit of your mind” (Ephesians 4:23) “The spirit is the human spirit, having its seat in and directing the mind.” (Vincent’s Word Studies) “i.e. in your mind which is a spirit.” (Matthew Poole’s Commentary) “The ‘spirit’ of man is the mind or inner man …” (Ellicott’s Commentary...
