lead us not into temptation

I'm glad to see you all enjoyed the house of cards today. As we saw, without people defending our house of cards, or if we didn't build it on a strong enough foundation, the house comes crumbling down quite quickly.

Something similar is actually happening in our Christian lives as well. Did you know that we have an enemy that is out to destroy our relationship with God?

On a daily basis, we face different types of temptation from Satan as well as our own sinful desires. Thankfully God assures us that He is stronger than Satan and that He will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13). That means we always have the choice and power to say "NO" to temptation. For those of you who attended last year's camp, remember: "Others can, I cannot."

"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

James 4:7

Hope you all have a great week ahead! :)
