    Jesus was tempted, yet He didn’t succumb to the enticement to sin. Jesus Reigns!

    Satan tempts Jesus three times, and Jesus isn’t in his full strength at that point. He actually had just fasted forty days in the wilderness.

    Does God Love, Love Making? You cannot turn on secular television without seeing an ongoing solicitation that is sexual in nature. In most cases these are most likely a perversion of the sex that God approves of for man. But does He love, love making.
