The Temptations Of Jesus

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 21, 2013

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

Haunted Houses

Contributed by Monte Brown on Oct 25, 2009
