Luther Battles Temptation

"When temptation attacks me, I grab hold of a passage and fix my grip on it." (Martin Luther, paraphrased from Table Talk by Donald Demaray)

Bible Protects from Sin

Robertson McQuilkin, former president of Columbia International University, said that his mother wrote in his Bible, ?Either sin will keep you out of the Bible, or the Bible will keep you out of sin.?

None are Invulnerable

If the angel Lucifer could become the devil, none of us are invulnerable. (Source not found)

When Your Ministry Outpaces Your Character

I heard of a youth worker who led a spectacular ministry, with about 600 youth attending his group. Other youth ministers tried to emulate what he was doing, and wanted to find the secrets to his success. But today, this same youth minister lives on the streets as a cocaine addict. Beware! If our ministries outgrow our personal lives, none of us are immune from personal disaster.

How to Sink Blondes on a Sub

Did you hear how to sink a submarine full of blondes? Knock on the Door. Think that's crazy? But I think that Satan successfully uses just as obvious a strategy to sink millions of people. A he knocks at their door with pornography or a great looking loser and instead of calling a heavenly "911" they just open the door wide open, clueless that they are about to drown. ?

Middle Age Temptations

Middle age is having a choice of two temptations and choosing the one that will get you home earlier.

Lust and Forgetting God

At the moment (when lust takes control) God ? loses all reality? Satan does not fill us with hatred of God, but with forgetfulness of God. ? Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Thoughts Turn into Habits

Thoughts can crystallize into habit, and habit solidifies into circumstance. -- Steve Sjogren

Youth as The Age of Temptation

?Youth is the age of temptation and the greatest temptation of all is to do what the rest of the gang are doing, right or wrong. Too often it is wrong, for wisdom comes only with maturity, and the road to the maturity of self-understanding and self-discipline is long and hard and there are those who never reach the end of that road.? Pearl S. Buck

Temptation Bangs on Your Door

Opportunity may knock once, but temptation bangs on your door for years.
