    If we yield to temptations, the devil will continually follow us; but if we put on the whole armor of God, and stand out against him, he will leave us. Let sinners then submit to God, and seek his grace and favor; resisting the devil. Our nearness to God

    This sermon covers, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." The main emphasis is on "deliver us from evil." Many Christians boldly and repeatedly boast that, "We are all sinners." So, can God really deliver us from evil (sin) or can't He?

    Samson was a rugged character, rough as old boots. When he did call out to God, God answered his cries. They weren't cried out often. Are we consistent in our faith and prayer life? It makes a difference to our spiritual strength.

    Sexual Immoraity In America

    Contributed by Steve Greene on Feb 4, 2020
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,547 views

    One of the clearest indicators of rebellion against God is the blatant rejection of God's guidelines for sex. When we sin sexually, we hurt ourselves, we hurt others, and we break the heart of God.

    We are ALL broken people born into a broken world. The evidence of that brokenness often shows up most obviously in the area of our sexuality. So many people—professing Christians included—are willing to give their heart to God, but it seems like they want Him to stay out of their bedroom and out ...read more

    While we live on earth, temptation and sin will try to infect us like common disease. Only God and you know the true condition of your heart and your spiritual life. We are to examine ourselves or have regular checkups to monitor our spiritual health.

    Intro: Notice from the verse the word “examine.” Most of us go to the doctor AFTER getting sick. Some go to the doctor BEFORE getting real sick.
