Theology 101: Reminder—the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh (2 Cor 10:4). That is, they aren’t physical weapons or deeds of the flesh like enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, theft, deceit, slander, pride, profanity, lying, and perjury (Mark 7:20-22; Gal 5:19-21; 1 Tim 1:9-10). By these marks you will discern the soldiers of the true Kingdom of God and soldiers of a worldly false kingdom of man.
“To be clothed with humility does not mean that we are to be dwarfs in intellect, deficient in aspiration, and cowardly in our lives, shunning burdens lest we fail to carry them successfully. Real humility fulfills God's purposes by depending upon His strength.” COL 363

@Svigel For at least the first four centuries, the early Church continued to observe the Sabbath as a day of rest, while also celebrating Sunday in honor of the resurrection of Jesus. Early Christian literature attests to this dual observance, see, González, A Brief History of Sunday.
