TEMPTATION
« on: May 05, 2011, 10:29:13 pm »
Genesis 3:1-7
Temptation is part of a crafty plan that appeals to our natural desires in attempt to separate us from God.
Temptation is an invitation to live a self-serving life that leads to rebellion against God.
Temptation feeds off our own tendency toward self-reliance.
Temptation is subtle; what it offers may seem harmless at first glance.
Temptation often hits hardest in our areas of weakness.
Temptation can strike any area of life.

And, temptation occurs when "we" are going after "our" wants and desires.

I think the trick then, would be to conform our wants and desires to our Lord's  will.

I look at this as if we are in a war, and in a war you always prepare yourself for any contingency that the enemy may throw at you.
