According to Tan, which two spiritual disciplines are favored in spiritual warfare?

• A. Scripture and prayer
• B. Meditation and fasting
• C. Worship and service
• D. Study and evangelism

Answer: (A)

Grounding in God's Word and ongoing communication with God are the focus. Scripture serves as the believer’s sword—providing truth, identity in Christ, and guidance to counter deception—while prayer keeps the believer connected to God, drawing on His power, granting discernment, and sustaining endurance. Together, these two disciplines form the primary toolkit for spiritual warfare in Tan’s view. Other practices like fasting, worship, or study support growth, but Scripture and prayer are the emphasized pair for warfare.
