(50) Let's Get Out of Here

We see it depicted all around us, sometimes in the form of a bright red apple, a devil on the shoulder, or a group of young, attractive singles stranded on an island. But what does temptation really look like? And how can we live out the prayer, “lead us not into temptation,” when it feels like temptation is embedded in so many of the decisions we make every day?

We talk about that and so much more in today’s episode. We see how God delivers us from evil and opens our eyes not only to how we can avoid temptation but also to how we can follow Him in a better way. The name of the game isn’t just behavior modification, it is heart transformation. And no one can transform a heart like God.
