Pastor Chuck Swindoll counsels Christians to stand their ground. Though Satan may appear to be a fearsome foe, the devil was rendered powerless by the blood of the Lamb. Depend on Christ to give you the courage to stand nose-to-nose with the adversary.

Find fulfillment in Christ as Pastor Chuck Swindoll advises you to pursue eternal significance and be truly well-off in God's eyes.
