Attitudes to Avoid Concerning Our Adversary Devotional thought from the messages of Adrian Rogers

BIBLE MEDITATION: Romans 12:21 - “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: There are two mistakes people make about the devil. On one hand, they get into demonology — always studying, wondering, and talking about demons. They focus on Satan rather than on the Lord Jesus. The Bible says we’re to resist the devil; it doesn’t say we’re to chase him. On the other hand, there are those who are flippant about the devil. They have nicknames for him and think he’s imaginary. The truth is that we have a powerful adversary who is the devil. Peter likens him to a roaring lion! A mature Christian recognizes that he has an enemy. He respects the power of the enemy. Then he clings to the power of the Lord Jesus Christ to overcome this great adversary. ACTION POINT: Is the lion prowling around your life? Take up the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, and break free from his jaws of destruction.
