In Touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley.

Next on In Touch, dealing with temptation wisely.

Temptation is a part of life.

Everywhere you turn, people are being tempted to this and tempted to do that and tempted to do the other,

and usually defending their actions.

All the way back in the garden, Adam and Eve yielded the temptation, and what did they do?

They blamed each other.

And all the way to the presence of the New Testament, Jesus finds himself being tempted by the

devil, but each time victorious.

The Apostle Paul gave us a statement, as he wrote to the Corinthian Church, that is probably

the most powerful verse of Scripture in all the Scriptures, in all the New Testament, all the Old

Testament when it comes to being tempted.

So I ask you this question.

What is the most powerful temptation you face in your life today?

That is, what's the thing that really gets to you?

The thing that really gets your attention, the thing that grabs you, the thing that makes

you find yourself living in disobedience to Almighty God.

Have you ever thought about what your particular weaknesses are?

You say, well, I don't have any. Then here's one you have. You're totally deceived.

Because there's no such thing as no one not having any weaknesses at all. We may have to

learn to deal with them and may have learned to deal with them, but are they there?

Are you temptable?
