    Contributed by James May on Dec 2, 2007
    based on 24 ratings
     | 6,977 views

    The temptations that Jesus faced in the wilderness present a pattern that Satan has used since the creation of man. He had a nearly perfect plan to get even with God, but it failed at Calvary.

    Satan’s Nearly Perfect Plan By Pastor Jim May There’s an old saying that goes like this: “Even the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” Things just don’t always work out the way we plan them to. Satan’s plan to overcome man was perfect. He knew that if he could just get Adam to ...read more

    Are you a little proud you attend church? Do you feel a little superior to those folks who sleep in or are out on the lake? There is no room for spiritual pride in grace, because in grace, it’s all about boasting in God not in our goodness.
