Is that so?
The devil can tempt you. That is true. He can even try to seduce you. He can even pose the opportunity for you to sin. But here is freedom...
The devil can't MAKE you do ANYTHING!
He is powerless to drag you into sin yourself. Only you can drag yourself into sin. But in the depraved mind of the human being, it just feels a lot better blaming it on someone else. And nobody is going to argue with the sinister character of the devil. After all, Jesus called him the "father of lies."
But, if we can't blame the devil, then what can we do? How can one truly resist temptation? The fact is that we all fall from time to time - Governor Sanford, Tiger Woods, Bernie Maddoff, John Gosselin, Charlie Sheen, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Winona Ryder, and Lindsey Lohan can all attest to that!
This week, we explore the topic of temptation and learn from the Word how to resist it and experience the victory that only God can provide. I hope this blog tempts you to visit C3 this weekend!
