COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.” (Matthew 6:13, NIV)
Temptation: Question: What’s the best way to handle temptation? Answer: Don’t try to handle the temptation! Turn away from it! “A wise man is cautious and turns away from evil, but a fool is arrogant and careless.” (Proverbs 14:16, NASB) It’s common sense that if you don’t want to get stung, stay away from the bees! If you don’t want to get burned, don’t get close to the fire! If you don’t want to fall off the cliff, don’t hang off the ledge! The goal is not to see how close you can get to temptation but rather how far away from it you can stay! Only a fool thinks they can handle temptation. Analyze when and where you are most tempted and vulnerable, and then stay away from those situations as much as you can.
