Temptation


Book Description

Recognizing and Overcoming Temptation We are out of Paradise now, but the tree of temptation still stands in our life where it stood then – in the middle, where all the roads meet, where we must pass it every day. Every person’s success or sorrow de­pends on the attitude to it that he adopts. There are six attitudes we can have in regard to temptation: 1. We may be tempted. 2. We may have fallen before temptation. 3. We may be tempting others. 4. We may be successfully resisting temptation. 5. We may have outlived, or overcome, certain temptations. 6. We may be assisting others to overcome their temptations. In this short book, James Stalker explores each of these six attitudes we can have towards temptation, and how to best overcome the temptations we face.




Tempted and Tried


Book Description

Although temptation is a common and well-acknowledged part of the human experience, few realize the truth behind temptation and fewer still know how to defeat it. Tempted and Tried will not reassure Christians by claiming that temptation is less powerful or less prevalent than it is; instead, it will prepare believers for battle by telling the truth about the cosmic war that is raging. Moore shows that the temptation of every Christian is part of a broader conspiracy against God, a conspiracy that confronts everyone who shares the flesh of Jesus through human birth and especially confronts those who share the Spirit of Christ through the new birth of redemption. Moore walks readers through the Devil's ancient strategies for temptation revealed in Jesus' wilderness testing. Moore considers how those strategies might appear in a contemporary context and points readers to a way of escape. Tempted and Tried will remind Christians that temptation must be understood in terms of warfare, encouraging them with the truth that victory has already been secured through the triumph of Christ.
