Encouragement for Christian Sisters

Greetings sisters in Christ! I pray you are getting stronger every day, not wavering from the truth, not compromising or falling back.  We are in a continuous battle as we see in Ephesians 6, of which we always need to be prepared and strengthening ourselves.  Brother Jim and I see that all the time, daily in fact, how satan sends his workers to try to discourage, confuse, confound, cause chaos and bring believers down in any way possible.  One of the biggest tricks we see him pulling is to go after our character by people claiming we are judgmental, condemning and unloving.  We stand on the word of God, yet 'claiming' believers (not so much the world) are the ones to accuse.    Maybe you have heard of the 'golden rule'?  I grew up with it knowing it as ' Do unto others as you would have them to unto you '.  It comes from Matthew 7:12 and Luke 6:31.
