Temptation and desire don’t just happen to atheists and pagans. As a writer of an article, I read a couple of days ago, said, “They can affect Christians who have too much exposure to inappropriate content, such as sexual imagery, materialism, or divisive rhetoric.”
So, temptation and desire can even challenge Christians. Imagine that.
Don’t you wish there was something in the Bible that could help you and me with that??
Yeah, it would be great if God wouldn’t just leave us in the dark when it comes to things like temptation, certain desires, and the dark, sinful side of life. Sure He wrote a bunch of complicated laws on some stone tablets for Moses to take to the Israelites. But that somehow doesn’t seem to apply to all the stuff we have to deal with here in 2025.
I guess God never imagined we would have access to so much information and technology as He wrote on to stone.
Of course I’m being facetious. Because you and I, and the whole world put together, could never devise, construct, or even imagine a computer or technology that’s even a fraction of God’s mind. And He does give us help with temptation and desire. And you can find that wonderful help all through the apostle Paul’s letters. I think some of the best help is in 1 Corinthians.
If you take the time to use that link, I recommend you read the whole letter. Chapter 13, especially. Because that’s a key chapter that illustrates why I’m always talking about the power of God’s love. If you haven’t already tapped into that power, there’s no better time than right this second.
Even in this life, you can start living…
Larger Than Life
We live in a greed land…take more than we need land.
We go for the gusto…creating a dustbowl.
A media earful…is leaving us fearful.
It may come to haunt us…someday doesn’t want us.
More money, more persona…everyone’s a prima donna.
Can’t we understand that it’s larger than life?
Another car and another diamond…
The way we take is like a crime, and
Can’t we understand that it’s larger than life?
We’re living much faster…we flirt with disaster.
We use our resources as conquering forces.
And we don’t hear the drumming…the enemy’s coming.
We still have a Savior…let’s change our behavior.
More money, more persona…everyone’s a prima donna.
Can’t we understand that it’s larger than life?
Another car and another diamond…
The way we take is like a crime, and
Can’t we understand that it’s larger than life?
There’s so much more than just the here and now.
This isn’t nearly all there is.
But there are too many here who will never know how
This isn’t nearly all there is…
