"Days of Praise" is Bear's favorite devotional (updated daily),
because it focuses so much on solid and foundational issues

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints..." Ephesians 6:10-18 (KJV)

Bear is a writer who loves to write about the Lord and life in the Lord, using fiction, poetry and non-fiction.
Bear believes...
There's one living and true God. The eternal triune God reveals Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of being.
Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He perfectly revealed and did the will of God, taking upon Himself human nature, yet without sin. He was raised from the dead with a glorified body, ascended into heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God where He is the One Mediator, fully God, fully man, in whose Person is effected the reconciliation between God and man.
All men sin and fall short of the glory of God. Salvation is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, who by His own blood, in his death on the cross, obtained eternal redemption for the believer.
The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired, and is God's revelation of Himself to man.
To sum it all up... “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
