Temptation

Evening Service
Apr 17, 2016

Why do we sin? Convenient excuses abound as we shift blame for our sin to others, our environment, or our circumstances. When James wrote to the early Church, he addressed a subtle form of blame shifting that places responsibility for our sin on God himself. But James is clear that the blame falls squarely at our feet and never at God's. While the path of perseverance reflects a deep trust in the goodness of God, we chose a path of disobedience when we doubt God's goodness and become enslaved to the gifts that He intends for our good.
