Some things are more tempting than others wouldn’t you agree? I just love a Snickers candy bar. I have never tasted such goodness in my life. There is something about that combination of chocolate, peanuts, rich caramel and nougat that seems to satisfy the savage sweet tooth. Don’t put me on a diet

We as followers of Christ must so want God that He becomes our sole desire, our heart’s longing because the truth is that for some, perhaps a number of us, its not that we don’t want a relationship with God, we do, but we want many other things as well. Sort of like Jesus Plus, Jesus plus money,
