Resisting Temptation

Cross with nails websize

Eve, with all the fruits of Eden blest / Save only one, rather than leave that one unknown / Lost all the rest.

Thomas Moore (1779-1852)

Proverbs 7:1-5 (TEV) 1 My child, remember what I say and never forget what I tell you to do. 2 Do what I say, and you will live. Be as careful to follow my teaching as you are to protect your eyes. 3 Keep my teaching with you all the time; write it on your heart. 4 Treat wisdom as your sister, and insight as your closest friend. 5 They will keep you away from other men's wives, from women with seductive words.

Matthew 6:13 (TEV) Do not bring us to hard testing, but keep us safe from the Evil One.'

James 4:7 (TEV) So then, submit yourselves to God. Resist the Devil, and he will run away from you.
