Extract: Brothers and sisters, we must arm ourselves with the Armor of God, standing firm “with the belt of truth buckled around” our waists, with “the breastplate of righteousness” in place,and with our feet “fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.”
And with ISIS, arming ourselves with a full inventory of weapons to eradicate them on the battlefield.
