0:00.0	The When we become self-confident spiritually we may become nonchalant about the perils of
0:30.4	sin and today on truth for life, Alistair Beg considers the Apostle Paul's
0:35.3	timeless warnings about the dangers of temptation. We'll learn why we are to
0:40.6	deal with every temptation immediately and how to do so ruthlessly.
0:46.4	Alister is teaching from First Corinthians Chapter 10. We said that there were experiences that the people of Israel had gone through that we must
1:00.5	acknowledge and then that there were examples that we must acknowledge and then that there were examples that we must avoid.
1:06.7	We looked at the first two of these examples, namely idolatry and then immorality. We concluded there and we begin by picking up the third example
1:17.7	that is to be avoided as Paul gives it to us and you find it in verse 9 we should not test the Lord as some of them
1:28.6	did and were killed by snakes now we read in verse five and following of numbers 21 but turned
1:36.1	back to numbers chapter 11 to set this in further context as the people of God
1:42.4	instead of waiting upon God, wanted God instead
1:46.7	to fall in with their decisions and their demands. That is the kind of God that is attractive to most. Not a God before

2:01.9	provision and power we live our lives, but rather men and
2:05.8	women want to try God to test him and to see if they can't make him fall in with
2:11.4	their decisions and demands and it comes out in all kinds of ways.
2:16.1	You hear people say, I don't like to think of God in that way.
2:19.8	I'd rather think of God as this or I would rather think of God as that. And more often than not what is actually being said is I want a God who will fit in with me. I want to be able to push as it were God to the limit. I want to be able to try
2:37.0	him and to test him and to have him comply with my designs. Now whenever we're tempted to that kind of activity we are right
2:45.9	there with the people of the Old Testament. First of all they're crying to God that
2:50.2	they would have food. Then they get food, then they don't like the food they've got.
2:54.0	Just the way that children treat their mum so often.
