Introduction:
In any League Baseball game there is one player that has some very special equipment. That's the catcher. This is a very dangerous spot right behind the batter and needs special equipment for protection. The Bible teaches us that you and I need protection in the game of life and it tells us that we need the armor of God to protect us from Satan's evil schemes.
