Title: Hide God’s Word Somewhere?
Topic: Hide God’s Word Somewhere
Discussed by Dr. Chuck Lawless
with Dr. Chuck Lawless (www.ChuckLawless.com)
We need to hide
God’s Word in our heart so we don’t sin against Him (Psa 119:9-11).
If you don’t already memorize the Scriptures, here are some simple steps to get
started.
1. Decide that scripture memorization matters.
2. Tell somebody about your commitment. Tell your spouse. Let your children
know. Your school-age children make great accountability partners for scripture
memorization. They’ll always ask about your verses, and they’ll learn them at
the same time.
3. Take advantage of apps and other internet-based resources for memorization.
Do a search for “apps for Scripture memorization,” and you’ll find dozens of
possibilities.
4. Memorize verses from your quiet time study.
5. Always have a verse in your pocket, on your phone, etc.
6. Start by memorizing one verse at a time every other week.
7. Use the “off weeks” for review.
8. Simply read the verse dozens of times each day.
9. Practice strategically.
10. Just start. Memorize something. Today. Perhaps even right now.

Title: Spiritual Warfare
Topic: Spiritual Warfare
Discussed by Dr. Chuck Lawless
with Dr. Chuck Lawless (www.ChuckLawless.com)
Part 1 of 3
There is a war going on, and I’m not referring to the saga in the Middle
East. It’s a war on Earth between heaven and hell. Between angels and demons.
Between good and evil. There is an evil in this world that seeks only to kill
and destroy everything its wake. And Christians are the number one target.
Dr. Chuck Lawless serves as Professor of
Evangelism and Missions and Dean of Graduate Studies at Southeastern Seminary in
North Carolina. He has written and taught about spiritual warfare for over
twenty years. He has a written a new piece entitled “13 Truths about Spiritual
Warfare for Leaders” for
Thom Rainer Ministries, where he has a weekly column.
Many people make the critical mistake in thinking the Bible is about the devil.
The Bible is about God; it is His instruction book to us. We need to switch the
focus off of the devil and onto knowing God and what He wants us to do. This
brings us to the next truth: The devil is very, very real. He is more active
today than he ever has been and he has a specific battle strategy for every
person.
God is our warrior. He will win the fight for us. But we must do our part.
People are not the enemy; the devil is the enemy. Even when people frustrate and
anger us, they are not our enemy. We will react differently to confrontation
when we recognize that there is a supernatural enemy behind this.

Title: Part 2 of 3 - Spiritual Warfare
Topic: Spiritual Warfare
Discussed by Dr. Chuck Lawless
with Dr. Chuck Lawless (www.ChuckLawless.com)
In this second
segment with Dr. Lawless, he discusses how our leaders are the devil’s primary
targets: church leaders, political leaders, business leaders – even fathers and
husbands, the head of the household. He knows what buttons to
push. He knows the weak spots. He will use that to his advantage and to their
destruction every time. But good news! God forgives our shortcomings – even the
big ones! Pray for your leaders every day. Don’t wait until the “big story”
comes out about their sin. Cover them in prayer now.
We can see evidence of the devil’s work everywhere, not just in churches. We
can’t just stay in the darkness, though, because we might be afraid of people
finding out our sins. You don’t have to publish them for everyone to see, but we
do need to have accountability in our lives. Listen in as Dr. Lawless explains.

People standing
alone are easy targets. Pastors often feel that they have no one to talk to
about their sins and worries. It is important for pastors to
surround themselves with other spiritual leaders. We must be in frequent prayer
for ourselves and our leaders. We cannot win alone; neither can our church
leaders.
The devil will never stop trying to attack us. We will not win every battle. We
will have leaders who disappoint us, but that doesn’t mean we must cast the
sinner out to be devoured by the wolves.
Dr. Lawless can be found here with
Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. You can also receive updates
from him here.
