Spiritual Warfare: The Battle of Thoughts
Battling the Attack on Truth
“We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God…†(2 Cor. 10:5a)
Defending truth in an age of….
-Marginalizing the clarity of Scripture and the knowability of God
-Belittlingly the preaching the Word and the proclamation of the Gospel
-Man-centeredness and the denial of God’s sovereignty
-Confusion about the Gospel and the work of Christ
-Emphasizing personal spirituality at the expense of the local church
-Muddling gender roles and the attack on Biblical manhood/womanhood
Battling our Functional Theology
“…and take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ†(2 Cor. 10:5b)
Fighting thoughts that….
-Temporary pleasures of sin are more satisfying than the joy of Christ
-Current situations of difficulty are outside the realm of God’s sovereignty
-Past records of sin are beyond the reach of grace
-Our “common sense†and worldly wisdom are above the authority of God’s Word
-Another’s sin against me is greater than my sin before God
-Hidden sin will go away when I am ready to deal with it
-My husband/wife/child/friend will never change/repent/believe/come home/be healed
