The Test of Temptation

The greatest sin of the past century is the loss of a sense of sin.

Two things have caused this: moral relativism and secular psychology

James 1:14-15 "...but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full grown, gives birth to death."

High School age children were asked to identify which was worse, not recycling or pornorgraphy. The majority said that not recycling was the greater evil!

1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. 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 endure it."

Why does God allow temptation? Temptation exposes your heart in order to build your character.
