Equipping the Saints Conference
Building Culture in Hostile Territory
As God's Remnant continues the ongoing work of putting the axe to the root of the idols in our land, the Saints are in need of being equipped for the rebuilding of culture in it's place, lest evil shoots should spring up again.

Building Culture in Hostile Territory
The breeze coming off of the Puget Sound carries the smell of decay and death as it passes over the olfactory receptors. The rotting fruit of secularism has produced a foul odor in the land, a sign that God’s patience has run thin, His campaign of judgment being made manifest upon his enemies.
Conversations are overheard among the Saints around the public square, “You see the bad situation we are in, that our towns are desolate and its gates have been burned by fire. Come, let’s rebuild the walls so that we will no longer be a disgrace. Let’s arise and build.” So they began to put their hands to the good work, but alas, the Saints came to the realization that they have lost the art of building good things and are in need of wisdom and instruction.
To make matters worse, the enemy, while in retreat, remains active, scrambling in their last ditch efforts to mount a counterattack, slinging their fiery darts upon covenant homes, and upon the wall builders in the field. The nefarious work of the enemy and its seemingly endless psyops campaign continues to drone over the loudspeakers, dulling the minds of the youth and gaslighting the old. The Saint’s armor bearers have been scrambling to equip the Saints with shields and swords, exhorting the Saints to “pick them up” and therefore, “Go!”
In an effort to encourage and edify some of the local Armor Bearers have begun gathering the sage, the gray beards, the hoary heads among them, to offer up instruction and exhortation that the Saints might be better equipped to go out into hostile territory to retake the land, to rebuild the walls and institutions, to plant trees that bear good fruit for their children, remembering that “lo, Christ their King is with them always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
