Tempting Thoughts

Temptation clothed in deceit has been satan's time honored ploy since the first apple of Eden. It always promises betterment but never delivers. Yet, temptation is continually successful.

  1. Temptation is not a call to sin but a call to battle. ~ Frederick Wood
  2. Temptation is the invitation to exchange a poor today but a good tomorrow for a better today and a poorer tomorrow. 
  3. Temptation always explains the delights, but never its costs. In yielding the second state is always worse than the first.
  4. Temptation is never an offer from any good-will for it charges far more than it promises.
  5. Temptation is satan's pleasant counsel to sever faithfulness.
  6. Satan is like a fisherman, he baits his hook according to the appetite of the fish. ~ Thomas Adams

Submit yourself to God. Resist satan and he will flee from you. (James 4:7)
