Dealing with Temptation

There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is a cowardly response to the fact that you might get caught.

Persistent Knocking

Why is it that opportunity knocks only once, yet temptation bangs on the door constantly?

Ever Notice?

Ever notice that the whisper of temptation can be heard farther than the loudest call to duty?

The Ready Means

Have you noticed that when we decide to do something wrong the means are so readily available?

The Master Is Always In

The father of a small boy would occasionally sneak into a neighbor’s orchard and pluck some of the choicest fruit. He always make sure, however, that “the coast was clear.” One day with his son tagging alone, after carefully looking in every direction and seeing no one, he crept through the fence. He was just about ready to help himself when the youngster startled him by crying out, “Dad! Dad! You didn’t look UP! You forgot to see if God is watching.” When temptation besets you and you’re inclined to yield because no one else seems to be around, remember, if you’re a Christian, your “Master is always in.”
