The Source Of Our Temptation Series

Contributed by Daniel Teberian on Mar 12, 2023

What causes us to be tempted? Where do we get our desire to do that which the Lord has commanded us not to do? James explains the way we are tempted, where our temptation comes from, and where our temptation leads us.

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings ...read more

Law Breakers

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 26, 2022

As Law Breakers, God’s charge against sinful humanity is seen through: 1) The Character (Romans 3:10–12), 2) The Conversation (Romans 3:13–14), and 3) The Conduct (Romans 3:15–17) of the accused.

Romans 3:9-17. What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; 10 as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; 11 no one understands; no one seeks for God. 12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; ...read more

Beware Of Stumblingblocks

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022

Have you ever tripped someone…on purpose? Perhaps it was a joke, but you still tripped them. Have you ever tripped someone by accident? Perhaps you weren’t looking where you were going and ended up getting in someone’s way, and they tripped right over you.

If you’re not careful, you will do the same thing in your Christian life. You will trip up your brothers and sisters in Christ without realizing it. When you do this, whether on purpose or by accident, you have become a stumblingblock, and this is what the Apostle Paul deals with in I Corinthians ...read more
