Resisting Temptation

What is so bad about being tempted? Well, temptation can lead to sin, or missing the mark. That doesn’t sound too bad so far, but sometimes we pay a very high price for failing to carefully assess our trajectory. Listen in today for motivation to nip in the bud our human tendency to court temptation. God has an offer for you and it’s one with strings. Maintaining a life line to our Creator is not only the source of ultimate peace, but supplies the wisdom and power we need to resist temptation!

Flirting with Temptation!

There are lots of tempting things in this world: money, food, gossip, sex, power… What tempts you? None of us has a perfect record. Even Jesus, himself, was tempted. If we know that we have a weak area, what do we do to change that? Do we guard ourselves by protecting our hearts? Flirting with temptation is like standing with our toes over the edge of a cliff. If we fall, the price may be very high.
