The Enemy Within // James 1:14
James reveals the shocking source of our temptation in trials and we'll look at ways to live effectively in light of it.
DISCUSSION / REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
How does understanding that temptation arises from our own evil desires change the way we approach resisting sin in our lives?
How would you describe the difference between the desires of the flesh and the desires of the Spirit?
Do you have any personal boundaries you've implemented to help 'abstain from sinful desires that wage war against the soul' (1 Peter 2:11)?
In your own life, how have you seen the connection between consuming things that are good and godly and being able to effectively resist temptation?
What are some of your "besetting sins" or areas where you are most vulnerable to temptation?
How can we cultivate a healthy awareness of our own propensity to sin without falling into shame or despair?
What encouragement would you offer to a Christian who is discouraged by their ongoing struggle with temptation and feels like they should be 'beyond' certain sins by now?
