Comer now focuses on truth — specifically Scripture — as the primary offensive weapon in the war against lies, making the case that Bible engagement is not a religious duty but a survival strategy.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Comer describes Paul's 'armor of God' passage (Ephesians 6) and points out that most of the armor is defensive — except the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. What does it mean that truth is our primary offensive weapon? How does this change the way you think about engaging your Bible?
2.He contrasts two ways of reading Scripture: reading it to get information versus reading it to encounter the living God and be formed by him. What is your primary mode of Bible engagement? What would it look like to shift toward the formative mode?
3.Comer spends time on the practice of Scripture memorization — particularly as a way of getting truth into the body rather than just the conscious mind. He references Jesus' own use of memorized Scripture to resist the devil's temptations in the wilderness. Does memorization feel feasible to you? What has been your experience with it?
