The Character of Christ

I once read a book called, God's Armor Bearer by Terry Nance, which provides an excellent template for developing the character of Christ. The Devil is a liar, and he tries trap your spirit by shedding darkness on all of God's wisom. Let God shine through your heart, and become the light of this world...
