The Bible tells us what to do when we’re tempted. We have to catch and throw away any thought that doesn’t honor God.
Key Points:
- Temptation is something everyone deals with.
- We need to know how things like pornography, talking dirty, or acting dirty can lead to trouble.
- If you’re tempted, do these four things:
- Take your thoughts captive. 2 Corinthians 10:5
- Run away. 2 Timothy 2:22
- Run toward good things. 2 Timothy 2:22
- Tell somebody.
Memory Verse:
2 Timothy 2:22 Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts
