8. Religion vs. Relationship
Temptations are everywhere.
We are all tempted or enticed every day, often by things that are destructive to us.
How we respond to temptation determines our level of obedience.
The Holy Spirit empowers us to make the right choice when tempted, but He needs to be in control before he can empower us.
Addressing temptation and enticement under the power of the Holy Spirit is key to growing in our faith and in our relationship with God.
