2 Corinthians 10:3-6 MSG
3-6 The world is unprincipled. It’s dog-eat-dog out there! The world doesn’t fight fair. But we don’t live or fight our battles that way—never have and never will. The tools of our trade aren’t for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity.

Stand Hopeful (Our Promise is greater than our sorrows) Stand Your Ground (Don’t be Swayed) Stand Secure (God is never taken by surprise, Trust Him) Stand Fast (Fixed in Place) Stand Rooted (on the word) Stand in the Light (using the Word)
