This weekend Pastor Will Pavone taught us that one of the primary ways to resist temptation is to “Remember God’s Word.” (If you weren’t able to go to MBC, you can watch the message here!) Additionally, he taught us not only to memorize scripture, but also to “internalize” it. In other words, we need to meditate on God’s word and allow it to transform our hearts.
Many of you shared your “Fighter Verses” Sunday on the Internet Campus. These are verses that you have internalized and often bring to memory when facing temptation. Here is a list of the verses discussed by the Internet Campus community. Let us know if you have any others you’d like to share by leaving a comment!
