The second of two episodes on temptation is all about the way of the escape. Temptation is common to all men. And we have the ability to make choices in the moment. It might feel automatic now, but you can disrupt the temptation cycle and find the way of escape.
Think about like this: there is an escape pod between desire and action. Our job is first to be aware of temptation and then to hit escape button in the moment it comes.
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. – (1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV)
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why it’s important to know temptation is common
- About our ability to deal with temptation
- There is always a way of escape
- The 4 types of escape
“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, and Other Addresses
