Why Am I So Tempted to Do Bad Things, and What Can I Do to Resist Doing Them?
Listen now
Description
Temptation is something we all deal with. What makes it so difficult? What can we do to avoid giving in to it? How can God help us? In this episode, I offer some answers to these critical questions. Jesus' challenge to do "whatever it takes" to avoid giving in to temptation can be found in Matthew 5:29-30. God's promise to get us out of any temptation we face can be found in I Corinthians 10:13. The apostle Paul’s encouragement to us to fill our minds with good things can be found in Philippians 4:8. Paul’s experience with his "thorn in the flesh" is discussed in II Corinthians chapter 12:7-10. God's invitation for us to come to him boldly is recorded Hebrews 4:15-16.
