    The Temptation To Be Perfect Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000
     | 4,750 views

    To be perfect as God is perfect, paradoxically, requires us to understand our own weaknesses and failures the way God does, and to love ourselves, despite those weaknesses and failures, the way God does.

    It may sound like a contradiction in terms to have a sermon on the temptation to be perfect. After all aren’t temptations about being imperfect. Doesn’t God want us to be perfect just as he’s perfect? But you know, there is such a thing as the temptation to be perfect. All of us are subject to it ...read more

    The temptations expose our vulnerabilities. Beware of the devil's traps of performance (we are what we do), popularity (we are what others think), and possession (we are what we have).

    Jesus was tempted, so are we today. Jesus overcame the temptations, so can we today. • Even under a direct confrontation with the devil, alone in the wilderness, under harsh circumstances, Jesus won. If the devil tempts Him these ways, it would possibly mean that these were good entry ...read more
