Scriptures
1 Timothy 6:9-11 ESV But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.
Exodus 30:37 Never use this formula to make this incense for yourselves. It is reserved for the Lord , and you must treat it as holy.
Hebrews 13:5 ESV Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Mark 15:1 And as soon as morning came, after formulating a plan, the chief priests, with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin, tied up Jesus, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate.
Matthew 6:7-13 “The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They’re full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don’t fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need. With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this: Our Father in heaven, Reveal who you are. Set the world right; Do what’s best— as above, so below. Keep us alive with three square meals. Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You’re in charge! You can do anything you want! You’re ablaze in beauty! Yes. Yes. Yes.
Matthew 7:13-14 “Don’t look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Don’t fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do. The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires total attention.

To Improve Is To Change = Leading change can be very challenging. People don’t naturally resist change, they resist being changed. When you lead change, it is important to plan ahead, adjust your priorities, communicate with your people, allow time for acceptance, expect problems to occur, point to a hopeful future, and review your progress daily. 




Are You Bringing People Growth or Grief?
Embrace Change = As a leader, one of your responsibilities is to guide your people through change. It is impossible to grow without making changes. Your ability to change well and adapt will greatly determine the success you have in life. Embrace change!

Temptation Quotes

Quotes About Temptation 

  • Ability to resist temptation is directly proportionate to your submission to God. - Ed Cole
  • All men are tempted. There is no man that lives that can't be broken down, provided it is the right temptation, put in the right spot. - Henry Ward Beecher
  • All the great temptations appear first in the region of the mind and can be fought and conquered there. We have been given the power to close the door of the mind. We can lose this power through disuse or increase it by use, by the daily discipline of the inner man in things which seem small and by reliance upon the word of the Spirit of truth. It is God that worketh in you, both to will and to do of His good pleasure. It is as though He said, 'Learn to live in your will, not in your feelings.' - Amy Carmichael
  • As the most dangerous winds may enter at little openings, so the devil never enters more dangerously than by little unobserved incidents, which seem to be nothing, yet insensibly open the heart to great temptations. - John Wesley
  • Christ, because He was the only Man who never yielded to temptation, is also the only Man who knows to the full what temptation means. - C.S. Lewis
  • Every moment of resistance to temptation is a victory. - Frederick W. Faber
  • Every time you defeat a temptation, you become more like Jesus! - Rick Warren
  • God chooses that men should be tried, but let a man beware of tempting his neighbor. God knows how and how much, and where and when. Man is his brother's keeper, and must keep him according to his knowledge. - George Macdonald
  • If thou wouldst conquer thy weakness, thou must never gratify it. No man is compelled to evil: his consent only makes it his. It is no sin to be tempted, but to be overcome. - William Penn
  • Jesus was not tempted to see if He would fall. He was tempted to show that He could not fall. - J. Vernon McGee
  • Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness. - Martin Luther King Jr.
  • Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole. Yielding is opening the door and inviting him in. - Billy Sunday
  • Temptation may even be a blessing to a man when it reveals to him his weakness and drives him to the almighty Savior. Do not be surprised, then, dear child of God, if you are tempted at every step of your earthly journey, and almost beyond endurance; but you will not be tempted beyond what you are able to bear, and with every temptation there will be a way of escape. - F.B. Meyer
  • Temptations are never so dangerous as when they come to us in a religious garb. - Dwight L. Moody
  • Temptations which accompany the working day will be conquered on the basis of the morning breakthrough to God. Decisions, demanded by work, become easier and simpler where they are made not in the fear of men, but only in the sight of God. He wants to give us today the power which we need for our work. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
  • The higher the hill, the stronger the wind: so the loftier the life, the stronger the enemy's temptations. - Assorted Authors
  • The life of Balance is difficult. It lies on the verge of continual temptation, its perpetual adjustments become fatiguing, its measured virtue is monotonous and uninspiring. - Henry Drummond
  • The riches of His free grace cause me daily to triumph over all the temptations of the wicked one, who is very vigilant, and seeks all occasions to disturb me. - George Whitefield
  • Unwillingness to accept God's "way of escape" from temptation frightens me what a rebel yet resides within. - Jim Elliot
  • We gain the strength of the temptation we resist. --RALPH WALDO EMERSON
