In Martin Luther’s “Tabletalks” he said he “fought the devil with
ink.” Undoubtedly one of the ways he did this was by translating
the entire New Testament into German. James tells us, “Resist the
devil and he will fl ee from you.” (Jas. 4:7b) The best way we can accomplish
this is to immerse ourselves in the Scriptures. The Word of
God is what defeats our foe. —W. Ross Rainey
Thy Word is like an armory, where soldiers may repair,
