Today we'll start looking at Charles Stanley's Landmines in the Path of the Believer, Avoiding the Hidden Dangers.
Chapter One, Facing the Hidden Threat
Face-To-Face With Our Enemy
"...It does not take long to realize Satan will do anything to prevent you from becoming the person God has planned for you to be. His strategic plan is laid out to entice you to sin and drift in your devotion to God. Satan uses many of the things we feel are harmless or unavoidable sins - gossip, feelings of unforgiveness, pride, and cynicism, to name a few. He also watches to see how we will react to a situation. If there is an opportunity for him to weave his evil mischief into our thoughts, he will take it.
The landmines in his arsenal include such sins as pride, jealousy and envy, disappointment, unforgiveness, compromise, sexual temptation, fear, and laziness - which God also calls slothfulness.
How do you uncover and defuse the landmines that have been laid out in your pathway?"
We'll look at that tomorrow.
