Yield Not To Temptation

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 13, 2018

All of us are tempted every day. There is a process we go through before we make a decision to give in to the temptation or not to give in to the temptation. The record of David and Bathsheba is such an example.

All of us are tempted every day. Satan is trying to find something that will stick in our minds that we will act on.

Using illusion, he has carried the art to the extreme. He has “walked through” the Great Wall of ...read more
