TEMPTATION

Temptation itself is not a sin.  Many times though we flirt with temptation and try to rationalize it by saying, technically we are not committing sin.   But God wants us to separate ourselves from all sin and tempting situations.   "Avoid every kind of evil."    1 Thessalonians 5:22

Temptation is common to men, women, boys, girls and teens.  Make plans now to deal with temptations before you get in high pressured situations.  Set up defenses, road blocks, convictions, barricades, burglar alarms, standards or whatever you want to call them before the heat of the moment.  Once you've done that stick to them.  They will keep you from slipping - God has supplied you with a way out.   The question is are you prepared to take it?                       

1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man.  And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.  But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
