Thanks for joining us for this message. Here's Adrian Rogers.

Turn with me today to 1 Corinthians chapter 10.

And in a moment we're going to begin reading in verse 12.

Back to the basics, Christianity 101.

We've talked to you about how we know the Bible is the Word of God. We've talked to you about how to be sure

you're saved. We've talked to you about what happens when a Christian sins. We've talked

about how to be sure you're secure. We have talked to you about how to be cleansed if you do fall into sin.

And now today, how to turn temptations into triumphs, not simply to overcome temptation, but actually

to use temptation as a means

to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Look at the scripture, if you will, verse 12,

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.

There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common

to man. But God is faithful, who will not suffer you or allow you to be tempted above

that ye are able, but will with the temptation also make a way to escape that she may be able to bear

it. Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. Well, what a wonderful passage of

Scripture this is. Man in general tries to overcome temptation or deal with temptation in three ways.

They just yield to it.
