Temptation and sin are very much a slippery slope. One thing leads to another and before you know it you have dug a deep hole for yourself. I have watched this in my own life and learned with the Lord's help what thoughts, things, and places in particular to avoid. But in no way must I diminish the reality of evil in this world and in me. I must keep seeking the Lord's help in keeping my sense of reality of evil and sin clear and accurate.<BR/><BR/>Back in February we went through a great series at my church on Evil. During this time something clicked when I read Matthew 4 as part of the E100 series I was working through at the time. The <B>resistance</B> to temptation is vital. The resistance itself is critical in keeping our walk as Christ followers real.

But we can always find strength in our Lord Jesus Christ and say, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)It is always wise to be humble and trust in the strength of the Lord than in our own strength. Thanks for the moving post.
