In our day-to-day life, Satan constantly works to trick us into falling away from our Savior. There are plenty of pitfalls and traps he makes for us, hoping that we will turn away from God and embrace more of our own sins. Fortunately, we were given the beautiful, soul-saving Word of God to fight back against Satan’s lies. Read below ten lies that Satan loves to tell (or whisper, or yell) into our ears. Then, see how God’s Word shows us the truth, and cling to specific verses from His Word when you feel yourself falling prey to the lies. 

In light of my recent book, Ten Lies Satan Loves to Tell, I thought it would be helpful to engage with a few frequently asked questions that the book may raise for readers. This is part two, which addresses questions about spiritual warfare. In part one of my blog series, I address questions about Satan’s identity and actions.

In my book, 10 Lies Satan Loves to Tell, I go over many different lies that Satan likes to whisper and the truth that God tells you. Before we can begin to dig into these lies, it’s important to know who Satan truly is. I thought it would be beneficial to answer these five frequently asked questions about Satan so you can have a better understanding of the enemy to your faith and how Christ defeated Him for you.

The longest chapter in the Bible is Psalm 119. The Psalm is divided into twenty-two sections, one for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Each section speaks about God’s Word in a vast variety of ways. We hear God’s Word referred to as His precepts, testimonies, Law, statutes, commandments, rules, ways, and of course, Word.

Psalm 119 is a masterpiece of meditation and prayer. It brings the reader or hearer of the psalm back again and again to a love of God’s Word, a delight in learning and understanding more about God.

When we quote Bible verses, our intentions are often good. We want to encourage ourselves and others, so we put Bible verses on home décor, shirts, mugs, bumper stickers, and social media. However, it can be easy to take Bible verses out of context if we don’t stop to ask, “How did we get here?”

Author Andrew R. Jones shares three popular Bible verses that are misunderstood and provides context for them below.

One popular and worthwhile goal is to read the Bible in a new year. This often gets derailed around February as Bible readers find themselves slogging through Leviticus and Numbers. As the Israelites wander aimlessly in the wilderness, so, too, do many Bible reading goals. If you want to keep to the resolution and finish the entirety of the Bible in a year, here are a few tips that will hopefully propel you through any difficult sections.
