He goes on to describe the Holy Spirit's ministry in and to the believer, and the true nature of spiritual growth and progress.

Tempted and Tried

Author: Russell Moore
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433515970
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 210

Book Description
Although temptation is a common and well-acknowledged part of the human experience, few realize the truth behind temptation and fewer still know how to defeat it. Tempted and Tried will not reassure Christians by claiming that temptation is less powerful or less prevalent than it is; instead, it will prepare believers for battle by telling the truth about the cosmic war that is raging. Moore shows that the temptation of every Christian is part of a broader conspiracy against God, a conspiracy that confronts everyone who shares the flesh of Jesus through human birth and especially confronts those who share the Spirit of Christ through the new birth of redemption. Moore walks readers through the Devil's ancient strategies for temptation revealed in Jesus' wilderness testing. Moore considers how those strategies might appear in a contemporary context and points readers to a way of escape. Tempted and Tried will remind Christians that temptation must be understood in terms of warfare, encouraging them with the truth that victory has already been secured through the triumph of Christ.

Tempted for Us

Author: John E. McKinley
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1606088769
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 369

Book Description
This is an approach to Christ's impeccability and temptation through exploring and evaluating the theological models that have been developed from the early church to the present day. Drawing from tradition and the relevant biblical evidence, John McKinley argues that Jesus was truly tempted in ways that are closely relevant to the temptations common to us. Having been tempted for us in this way, Jesus can provide true help as the credible example to follow and truly sympathetic ally in the fight against sin. Key to understanding how Jesus remained unable to sin and sharply vulnerable to temptation is the role of the Holy Spirit.

Book Description
In "Triumph Over Temptation," author Bill Vincent embarks on a profound exploration of the pervasive struggle against lust, one of humanity's most formidable spiritual battles. Drawing from his extensive experience in pastoral care and deliverance ministry, Vincent delves deep into the heart of this insidious force, revealing its many facets beyond mere sexual desire, encompassing the lust for power, control, and material excess. Through twelve compelling chapters, Vincent offers a piercing analysis of the various manifestations of lust, its historical roots in biblical narratives, and its contemporary relevance in a world increasingly blurred between the sacred and the secular. He unravels the deceptive allure of lust, its potential to lead even the most devout astray, and the subtle ways it infiltrates our thoughts and actions. The book illuminates the often-misunderstood dynamics of spiritual warfare, the role of leadership in safeguarding the flock, and the importance of discernment in distinguishing the voice of God from the cunning whispers of the adversary. Vincent calls for a return to biblical truths, urging believers to stand firm in their faith, fortified by the Word and led by the Holy Spirit. "Triumph Over Temptation" is not merely a discourse on the pitfalls of lust; it's a roadmap to liberation, a call to arms against the forces that seek to ensnare us. It's an invitation to embark on a transformative journey, fortified by divine wisdom, to claim victory over the desires that threaten to derail our spiritual walk. Whether you are a long-standing believer or new to the faith, this book is a beacon of light, offering guidance, hope, and the promise of triumph over the trials that test our resolve. Embrace the journey within these pages, and step into the freedom and victory that await.

What is morally right and wrong differs from one individual to the next. From the big issues of abortion and sexual expression to the life choices of integrity, these differing opinions exist throughout human culture. Who is right and who is wrong? Is mankind fit to decide what is good and evilor is this decision too great a responsibility for us to handle? As the moral fabric of the individual, the family, the nation, and the world disintegrates, we are faced with the dilemma: Who really decides what is morally right and wrong? In The Knowledge of Good and Evil, Joshua K. Hildebrandt takes us back to the beginning to a man and a woman and a tree in a garden to discover how this question can be answered, and to show us the freedom that can be ours in laying down the right to choose!
