Shield of Spot-Check Faith

Spot-check faith is immediate course correction. Ephesians 4:26: be angry and do not sin — do not let the sun go down. James 1:19: quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger. Relapse is often a delayed confession. The Shield here is raised in the first five minutes, not the next meeting.

Practice one spot-check the moment anger, fear, or lust arises. Use Ephesians 4:26 as the quick-response tool. Confess and correct within five minutes. Thank God for the gift of immediate grace.
