Ron Burtz
Although many don't seem to realize it every Christian is a combatant in a conflict between God and the forces of evil and this world system under the control of Satan. God does not leave us without resources in the battle, however. In this message, Ron Burtz spells out the second pair of four C words that describe the spiritual tools that give us Courage For the Conflict.
