Temptations

Run from anything that gives you evil thoughts…but stay close to anything that makes you want to do right. 2 Timothy 2:22

Remember that the temptations that come into your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can’t stand up against it. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you will not give in to it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

Rick Warren in “The Purpose Driven Life” explains how to keep from sinning temptations and tells you “What on Earth Am I Here For?”

Refocus your attention on something else. Sin is won or lost in your mind.

Reveal your struggle to a godly friend or support group.

Resist the Devil. Don’t ever try to argue with the Devil. He’s better at arguing that you are, having had thousands of years to practice.

Realize your vulnerability. You are not exempt; you can fall flat on your face too.

God is faithful. He will keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can’t stand up against it.

Be careful who you surround yourself with. Find godly friends that have the same goals as you do.

Indeed, we have a great high priest ever living to intercede for us at the throne of God. Hebrews 4:14 

And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son (Jesus) to be the Saviour of the world. 1 John 4:14
