22.05.14 “Stand Firm” (Matt. 6:13; James 1:13,14)

 

As we are working our way through the famous prayer Jesus used as an example for His disciples when teaching them about the power and reality of PRAYER conversation with God Almighty, we've come to this statement: "And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil." (Matt. 6:13) Now I wonder what that means to you my friends, wherever you live in cities and towns all around our world? Since this prayer is being offered up TO God, does the first part of the statement seem strange? Would God ever lead us INTO temptation? If so, why? If not, was this just a poor choice of words by Jesus?  (Click here to see full text, images and links)       Today's Scripture is Matthew 6:13 & James 1:13, 14. Choose below to read or listen.​​Matthew 6:13 James 1:13, 14 Pastor Doug Anderson    262.441.8785   “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus…” (Heb. 12:1,2) Have a comment or question about today’s chapter? I’m ready to hear from you, contact me here.
