"What Are You Hiding?"




February 7, 2008 we gathered for a Ladies Night Out.



The title for the evening was “What are you hiding?” It’s wasn't about your wrinkles, your weight, or even your sin….it was about God’s Word and hiding Scripture in your heart.

Although many would say they couldn't memorize, they do it all the time. Some things on purpose and other things are just remembered by default. Some things we memorize are important while others are not.... however, we are all memorizing.


We played several games to help us realize how much we are hiding in our minds. But, how much Scripture are we actually hiding in our hearts? Is it very seldom :( ?....or Is it very consistent :) ?

Why should we memorize God's Word:

1. Having God’s word in our hearts will gives us victory over sin.

2. It renews our mind…helps us stay focused on God.

3. Helps us think the way He thinks….many verse will help you fight the lies that the world throws at you from all angles, if you have them planted in your heart.

Whatever is planted in the heart will overflow…Matthew 12:34-35, "How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things."

4. Gives us confidence when witnessing.

Are you hiding Scripture? Do you have a method to keep you consistent and accountable? For those that attended...are you using your box?
