A live discussion with the author of Fighting on Our Knees: Praying the Psalms In an Anti-Christian World
As modern society becomes increasingly secular, Christians today find themselves living in a world that is not only diametrically opposed to their faith but also downright hostile about it. While living in what has been deemed an anti-Christian culture, characterized by a vehemently negative view of both Christianity and Christians, we are locked in a fight-to-the-finish battle with the forces of evil.
Rory Noland calls and equips twenty-first-century Christians to engage in spiritual warfare by praying the Psalms—the same book of prayers that ministered to the Israelites of old and served as their collective voice in turbulent times. He highlights a group of psalms that address three specific areas currently under spiritual attack— the family, the church, and the culture at large. Each chapter focuses on a particular psalm, presents a verse-by-verse devotional commentary, and concludes with prayer exercises based on that psalm. Throughout his presentation, Noland encourages Christians to stay vigilant in the all-important kingdom work called prayer. Fighting on Our Knees calls and equips Christians to engage in spiritual warfare by praying psalms that address three vital areas: family, church, and culture.
Fighting on Our Knees calls and equips Christians to engage in spiritual warfare by praying psalms that address three areas that are under attack in our day: our families, our churches, and the culture at large. Each chapter focuses on a particular psalm, presents a verse-by-verse devotional commentary, and concludes with prayer exercises based on that psalm. This book is not just for worship leaders, it’s for anyone who wants to go deeper in prayer or deeper in their study of the Psalms. It’s an ideal book for small-group study as well.
