James 1:13-18
Is It Ever Right to Do Wrong? (Part 2)

In this powerful message, we delve into the anatomy of sin and temptation, drawing wisdom from James 1:13-18. We're reminded that temptation doesn't come from God, but from our own desires. The journey from temptation to sin is broken down into four stages: seduction, conception, birthing, and death. This progression shows us how seemingly harmless desires can lead to destructive consequences if left unchecked. We're challenged to recognize that sin always reduces us, contrary to Satan's lies that it will elevate us. The remedy? Rejecting the lies we believe, repenting of wrong decisions, and making right the wrongs we've done. God's unchanging nature and truth stand in stark contrast to the world's shifting standards. As we navigate life's challenges, we're encouraged to align ourselves with God's truth, recognizing that spiritual warfare is less about confronting Satan directly and more about submitting to God and putting on Christ.
