Tempted and Tried
Breakaway Ministries Video Podcast
James 1:12-18.
Didn't feel like typing out a thousand notes because i'm still not really sure if many people care to read them or not, if you do take the time, it would just be smarter and better if you go to iTunes and download them. All of the podcasts I listen to are free and range between 30-50 minutes depending on the speaker. I'll put a title list at the end.
Heres the gist: God will never tempt you, because he cannot be tempted, and you better not blame him when your tempted. He will test your faith. Temptation comes from you, it is your response to your own desire. Temptations will always be tailor made for you. Temptation itself is not a sin, but when you enact the will you've made a decision to go someplace you shouldn't. Desire leads to sin and sin leads to death. It all starts with you thinking God isn't being a good dad, then you go out and get it yourself. Anything that promises to fill the vacancies in your life that is ungodly will lead to death. When death looks like life, have the discipline to see it for what it is. God saves and brings forth life and will do glorious things with your pain if you let him.
