PAGE 1 - Introduction
  • "Satan, like a fisher,
            baits his hook according to the appetite of the fish."
    ~ Thomas Adams
PAGE 1 - The World
  • "The best evidence that a Christian desires (loves) something more
           than he desires (loves) God
           is his willingness to sin against God in order to acquire that desire.
    'If you love Me keep My commandments,' Jesus said (John. 14:15)."
    ~ Lou Priolo
PAGE 2 - The Sinful Nature
  • "How can we love sin, when we remember that because of our sins Jesus died?"
    ~ J. C. Ryle
  • "Sin gets its power by persuading me to believe that I will be happier if I follow it.
    The power of all temptation is the prospect that it will make me happier."
    ~ John Piper
  • "Before we had no choice; now we have one.
    When we sin as Christians, we do not sin as slaves,
            but as individuals with the freedom of choice.
    We sin because we choose to sin."
    ~ Jerry Bridges
  • "Although our sins are forgiven and
            we now have the power to overcome temptation,
    we will forever struggle with sin because we still have what the Bible calls the flesh."
    ~ Chip Ingram
PAGE 2 - Satan
  • "The devil visits idle men with his temptations.
    God visits industrious men with His favors."
    ~ Matthew Henry
  • "Satan tempts to sin gradually.
    As the husbandman digs about the root of a tree,
            and by degrees loosens it, and at last it falls.
    Satan steals by degrees into the heart: he is at first more modest."
    ~ Thomas Watson
PAGE 3 - Resisting Satan's Attacks
  • "Every time you defeat a temptation, you become more like Jesus!"
    ~ Rick Warren
  • "We must not count temptation a strange thing.
            'The disciple is not greater than his master, nor the servant than his lord.'
    If Satan came to Christ, he will also come to Christians."
    ~ J. C. Ryle
PAGE 3 - BIBLE Example
  • "I do not deny that the Devil has some pretty apples;
    I just say that all of them are fakes and that after you bite into them,
            you will find they have worms.
    All Satan's apples have worms."
    ~ John Rice
PAGE 3 - Guard Your Thoughts
  • "Temptation always starts in your mind, not in circumstances."
    ~ Rick Warren
  • "The Bible indicates that our thought lives ultimately determine our character.
            Solomon said, 'For as he thinks within himself, so he is' (Proverbs 23:7)."
    ~ Jerry Bridges
  • "There is no neutral ground in the universe; every square inch, every split second,
            is claimed by God and counter-claimed by Satan." 
    ~ C. S. Lewis
PAGE 3 - Grace (Sidebar)
  • "Grace is not simply leniency when we have sinned.
    Grace is the enabling gift of God not to sin.
    Grace is power, not just pardon."
    ~ John Piper
  • "Grace is never cheap.
             It is absolutely free to us, but infinitely expensive to God…
    Anyone who is prone to use grace as a license for irresponsible, sinful behavior,
            surely does not appreciate the infinite price God paid to give us His grace."
    ~ Jerry Bridges
PAGE 3 - Example: "I can't forgive."
  • "Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness."
    ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
PAGE 4 - When Under Attack!
  • "Temptation exercises our faith and teaches us to pray."
    ~ A. B. Simpson
  • "Ability to resist temptation is directly proportionate to your submission to God."
    ~ Ed Cole
  • "Nothing sets a person so much out of the devil's reach as humility."
    ~ Jonathan Edwards
  • "Watch the morning watch.
    Do not see the face of man until you have seen the face of God.
    Before you enter on the day with its temptations,
           look up into His face and hide His Word in your heart."
    ~ F. B. Meyer
  • "Jesus said, 'Any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot
            be my disciple' (Luke 14:33).
    We must honestly face the question, 'Am I willing to give up a certain practice
            or habit that is keeping me from holiness?'
    It is at this point of commitment that most of us fail.
    We prefer to dally with sin,
            to try to play with it a little without getting too deeply involved."
    ~ Jerry Bridges
  • "P.T. Forsyth once said, 'The worst sin is prayerlessness.'
    We usually think of murder, adultery, or theft as among the worst.
    But the root of all sin is self-sufficiency, independence from God.
    When we fail to wait prayerfully for God's guidance and strength,
            we are saying, with our actions if not our lips, that we do not need Him.
    How much of our service is characterized by "going it alone?"
    ~ Charles Hummel
  • "Soon the battle will be over.
    It will not be long now before the day will come
            when Satan will no longer trouble us.
    There will be no more domination, temptation, accusation, or confrontation.
    Our warfare will be over and our commander, Jesus Christ,
             will call us away from the battlefield to receive the victor's crown."
    ~ Thomas Watson
