From this morning’s meditation you may have learned you are tempted by other gospels circulating in our society. Paul wrote,

I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. 3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 4 For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough. 2 Cor. 11:2-4

Such a temptation may indicate a stronghold in your mind. What weapons must you use to tear down the stronghold?

What other gospels do you see being preached today and what in you is tempted to put up with these other gospels?

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ 2 Corinthians 10:4,5

Knowing that we are not to use worldly methods to fight how do we use our spiritual weapons to demolish arguments and take thoughts captive?

In the context of this chapter whose arguments are we demolishing and whose thoughts are we capturing?
