“Your child’s spiritual war isn’t fought on imaginary fronts, it’s waged in the mind. The war experienced in the mind is far more lethal than any physical battlefield. Arm your children to conquer Satan, the World, and the Flesh by teaching them the Truth of God, helping them understand it, and encouraging them to believe it.”
