Bible Question: How do you guys fight temptation? |
Bible Answer: 1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. The fact that one is tempted is not the sin. The resulting actions determing that. If you allow yourself to dwell on what you know to be sin, will turn the key and let the tempter in. Scripture states "be carefull what you see and hear." When I was in the service over thirty years ago, I finally gave in and allowed myself to watch the filth and porn flicks that everyone else was watching. Thirty years later, those scenes are still in my minds eye. I would never have known that many evils existed, had I not given in to, not the temptation, for I was repulsed, but the peer pressure. |
