"God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation." -James 1:12 NLT
" If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure." -1 Corinthians 10:12-13 NLT
Temptation itself isn't sin, but responding to the temptation that we face in an ungodly way is sinful. We all experience temptation, but how we respond to temptation matters. During this episode, we will go over ways to endure temptation from a biblical standpoint. Let's Go!
