Contributed by Scott Maze on Oct 23, 2024

The Temptation Of Jesus - Part 2

Contributed by James Snyder on Mar 11, 2013

Our temptations will never compromise our relationship with God, but will bring to the surface God's amazing grace for us in times of need. With every temptation comes a stream of God's amazing grace flowing in our direction.

Everyone lives with the basic assumption that they will never be tempted. Even if they are, they won’t yield. “It won’t happen to me,” the arrogant boast. And yet, it always does. Nobody starts out intending to be an alcoholic or a drug addict. And, nobody can become an ...read more
