don't go to chapter 12. you won't find it james chapter 1 look at verse 12. here's what it is okay the bible says james chapter 1 verse 12 it says blessed is the man that endureth temptation now hold to that thought i want to preach this evening on think about this winning over temptation don't let temptation win you but you find out how to win over temptation in other words how to be victorious over temptation is what we're going to talk to now i'm going to give you bible principle after a bible principle after a bible principle on how to avoid being if you would please drawn into temptation now notice the rest of our bible verse here the bible says for when he has tried he shall receive the crown of life and went watch it which the lord hath promised to them that love him and as we think about temptation i don't know about you but i've seen many people many people over the years that have succumbed to temptation otherwise they have fallen into temptation now i want to tell you something dear friend there's no reason for that there's no reason for that if you make wise decisions you can avoid falling into that which is being tempted and i want to show you some bible principles tonight that will help you to avoid that you need to work on it you need to work on it it doesn't matter what age you are doesn't matter what it doesn't matter if you're a child it doesn't matter if you're a teenager doesn't matter tonight if you're an adult it doesn't matter if you're a young adult or an older adult every single person in this room the devil would like to destroy and the way that he will destroy you is to put things inside or in front of you to tempt you and so i want to give you some things tonight how is it that we can overcome temptation well with the following statement number one with decision with decision you have to decide inside of you tonight that you are not going to succumb to temptation you say well is it that easy no there's more principles we'll give tonight but that's a pretty good start just to decide that you're not going to be overcome by the wicked one you understand this the bible says that the devil goeth about is a roaring lion seeking listen to it now seeking listen to it now seeking whom he may devour he's not after your things tonight he's not after your things he's not after what you possess tonight he's not he's not after that what he's after tonight is you that's what he's after and if he can get you my dear friend he gets everything you own if he can get you he'll get all your possessions if he can get you he'll get your future okay he'll destroy your life forever now the bible gives us if you would please uh the things that we need to do in order not to be overcome by temptation one of those things we do tonight is with a decision listen to your bible james chapter 1 verse 14 the bible said every man is tempted when he's drawn away of his own lust and enticed now an enticement is a glance it's a look if you would please all right you have to be sure that you keep your eyes in the right place you have to be sure that you keep your heart in the right place it first starts with the decision you have to decide that you're going to be firm in your heart that i will not do thus and so but i will do thus and so in serving god okay but i'm not going to do those things that's going to cause me to have a downfall see you choose everything that comes in your life you choose everything you you don't have to eat that apple pie you don't have to you don't have to eat that cherry pie you don't have to oh the other night last night i announced it this morning told about it in the message but i had such a fun time i want to tell you about a little bit more we had the privilege to take the assistant pastors children out yesterday we had a staff children's activity these are the children of the assistant pastors and uh my wife and i took them out from two o'clock to 6 30 and yes we did survive but we took them to a put golf place and it was a glow-in-the-dark type of golf place and boy they had fun but you know i found out that some of them had never played putt-putt golf before and we did we did we did we certainly did we tried to teach them how to hold the club and that that didn't work but they didn't know how to hold the ball now i'm not talking about the teenagers and i appreciate the of course two of our college young men as i talked about this morning uh you know jordan bachmann of course dr mrs bachmann's son and and sean did a great job sean of course being the son of brother mrs palmer and they did a good job matter of fact i told them as we were leaving the place that we were eating i said fellas you're going to make good husbands one day you're going to make good good daddies one day because they just took those little bitty kids under care i mean we're sitting there at the restaurant they're taking down their orders for them and they're telling what they want and then as we're driving along in the car if the and one of the kids were getting a little bit rowdy they try to calm them down a little bit you know and and some of the stories that these kids told was just unreal like the story one of them told where all these snakes came into the house and they got up and they were the hero because they killed them i thought that's neat uh one of them said this is where my grandpa works another one said well my dad worked in a bigger building than that only to find out they worked in the same building you know and you heard this you know my dad's better than your dad type of thing and stuff like that now now wait a minute watch this but i had fun of being able and my wife did too we had fun being able to be with these children and and to be able to watch them even though they the little ones now not the big ones they they they knew how to hold the club and we didn't have to teach them how to hold the club and things of that nature but the little ones would take the ball up and they knew the object of the game was to put the ball in the hole they knew that they knew that so they simply took a shortcut for every single time that they go up and uh supposed to put the ball in the hole they did it matter of fact they got a hole in one almost every single time because they'd take the ball up they'd walk up they'd see the hole they'd bend down and put the ball in the hole now i want to tell you something overcoming temptation is not that easy it's just not one thing that you do it is several things that you do and you have to do it the way god says to do it in order for it to count in your life you can look at other shortcuts if you want to you can decide to take the shortcuts in your life if you want to but i'm telling you here tonight i've seen many young people that have failed because they have not followed god's instruction and they have failed miserably and before you know it the preacher comes along or somebody else that's a godly counselor or maybe a mom and daddy come along as a godly counselor they're trying to help them to pick up the pieces but can i tell you it's a shame that they have to help them pick up the pieces there never should have been any pieces where does it all start it starts with a decision a decision that you let your guard down a decision that you think a wrong thought a decision that you go a wrong place a decision that you hang around the wrong crowd a decision that you put the wrong type of music in your life a decision that you watch something that tempts you on the television or you listen to something in a variance of music that causes you to think the things that you should not do it might be picking up a book and reading it might be picking up an article and reading it it might be if you would please going to a certain event or going to a certain place it's all about this one thing that is called decision and here's what the bible says and let me re-read it again james chapter 1 and verse 14 every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed you have to make sure that you do not put yourself in a place where you're drawn away first thessalonians chapter 5 and verse 21 the bible says prove all things hold fast to that which is good so when you find out what is good and something else comes along may i say this when you find out what is spiritual and you find that something else comes along that should not divert your decision you should always stay with your decision no matter what comes along president ronald reagan long before he was president ronald reagan was a young boy and his grandmother saw that he needed some shoes she took him down to the shoe cobbler and said now now ronald you tell him what type of shoes you want and he'll make them for you ronald reagan looked at the shoe cobbler and and he couldn't make up his mind does he want round tip or does he want square tip just couldn't make up his mind the next day the shoe cobbler saw ronald reagan walking down the street said ronald have you decided do you want the round tip or do you want the square tip he said i don't know he said come by my uh a place tomorrow and tell me tomorrow morning because i'm going to be making them all tomorrow afternoon come by ronald reagan showed up at the shoe cobbler's uh place and and so he walked in he told the shoe cobbler he said i still don't know i just don't know shoe cobbler said don't worry about it i'll take care of it so the next day when he came by to pick up the shoes he had one round one and one square one and the shoe cobbler said this and it stayed in ronald reagan's heart even during the time of his presidency the shoe cobbler said this if you don't make a right decision somebody else will make it for you now you have to understand i don't care again what age you are you are in the place of decision-making you have to if you're going to be able to overcome temptation uh be able to escape the wiles of the devil you've got to decide that you're going to make the right decision when the devil comes knocking on your door statement number one how is it that we can overcome that which is temptation well with some things tonight that's important with a decision statement number two with devotion with devotion here's what the bible says second corinthians chapter 10 and verse 13 the bible says talking about god god's saying this that that he will not suffer to be tempted above that which are able all right god said i'm not going to suffer you to be tempted above that which ye are able see inside of you my dear friend you have a holy ghost and that holy ghost will help you to be able to make the right decisions that holy ghost will lead you in a direction that you should go that holy ghost will also lead you in the things that you should say and the things you should not say listen to me now when you should say them and when you should not say them the whole thing about being able to overcome that which is the devices of the devil is walking with god and allowing god to be able to work in you and through you to overcome temptations so how is it that you do that you do that with a decision you do that with devotion the bible says over in psalm 119 and verse 11 the bible says thy word have i hid in my heart listen to it now that i might not sin against thee so god said he's given you his word now why has he given you his word he's given you his word so you might not sin against him dr bob jones senior said this he said the the dwarf success swings on the hinges of opposition the devil does not want you to be able to be successful in your christian life now because of that that door of success or that door if you would please obedience to god will always swing and it's going to swing on the hinges of opposition serving god is not always easy standing against the wiles of the devil is not always easy standing up for what is right when everybody else is going wrong is not always easy trying to live for god is like swimming upstream against the current for the person that says i'm living for god and it's easy something's wrong there i've lived for god for uh now on to 40 some years and can i tell you living for god is not easy what's quiet in the house tonight god's going to send people in your life to try and discourage you he'll send problems in your life that's overwhelming he'll send difficulties in your life that you might not understand then watch this if you will please those things are there many times sent by god himself to help you to trust him more but sometimes the devil gets in it and what becomes that which is a little a problem are you listening to me a little difficulty are you listening to me now the devil gets in he puts a hook and tries to draw watch this watch this watch this all right come here devil if you will come here god come here watch this watch this watch this i i i i got to go to the dentist i don't want to go to the dentist i don't like dentists i don't care for a dentist i think that they're of the devil no i'm kidding but i i got to go to the dentist i'm just kidding i love dentists but not really i just don't like the pain but here we go here we go here we go so i'm going to go down to the dentist and oh my oh my it's starting to bother me a little bit and so uh what happens is the devil starts to put doubts in my heart and he's starting to say that dennis he's going to miss the tooth and he'll probably drill through the back of your head or something you know he just you know all these doubts and he'll try and pull me this way he'll try and pull me but god says god says god says it'll be okay it'll be all right it'll be okay it'll be all right it'll be okay the devil's heavy and uh but all right now watch this if you will watch understand this we understand this we understand this we understand that who you yield yourself to is oftentimes you know when god allows things to come in your life is to draw you closer to him so that he can be the one that answers your prayers so that he can be the one to show you he's mighty he's great when the devil sins if you would please things in your life he tries to keep you poor but i don't have no matter what he puts in my life no matter if there's a mean cantankerous uh angry person that the devil puts in my life i don't have to go that way i can always go this way what is that i'm telling you what it is it's decision it's decision now watch this if you will here's what we see there's decision there's devotion there's devotion out in california they have what they call orange groves orange groves you've ever been to california you can drive through the orange groves now here's what they're concerned about they're not concerned about the oranges that's on the tree they're concerned about the tree because being concerned about the tree if the tree is that which is healthy it'll produce the right type of oranges it'll produce the right type of fruit i think sometimes here's what we do we look at the fruit and we're more concerned about the fruit in a person's life than we are about the healthy spiritualness of a person and because we're more concerned and and here's what people do they judge people and only judge people by the fruit that they see but not about the spiritual health of the individual just because somebody gets down doesn't mean they're going to stay down just because somebody sins doesn't mean they're going to live in that sin the rest of days of life just because a dad makes a wrong decision you listen to me children just because dad makes a wrong decision you are not to wipe him out x him out that doesn't mean he's going to make wrong decisions the rest of the days of his life that doesn't mean that uh just because uh a guy gets up to sing one time and he messes up that doesn't mean he's gonna mess up see here's what we do we write people off way too quick and then it's something you are quick to write off somebody else's child but you're not quick to write off your own that's kind of hypocritical isn't it now can i tell you the way to get over that is to simply understand that we need to be the one that tries to help all those to be that which is spiritual so that later on no matter when that later on is we get to see some fruit you realize there are college students that come here they come here and we have a largest freshman class i think we've had in a while but did you know the college students that come here they come here from every walk of life we've had the privilege to preach either dr bachmann or or brother bell or or brother butler or myself to preach in these churches and every church is different every church is different so when they come to park side because every church is different you know what that means it means our church is different hello when people join our church you know uh they see that well there's something there's there's some things different about your church the way you run the program the way that you uh instruct people the way that maybe the way you preach or the way you guys make announcements or something like that now can i say this uh listen just because you go to a different church when you're on vacation and they don't do it like we do it that doesn't mean the church is wrong just because a man of god gets up we have all caliber of preachers that come here and preach in this pulpit some will get up and boy they'll shout the whole time and they spit the holy water all the whole time now watch this why i said don't don't fall into this trap some people come and they're they're they're monotone and they're preaching some people come and they stand behind the pope at the whole time some people come they try and climb on the pulpit some are storytellers some are straight shooters now wait a minute watch this all of them god can use in your life if you let god use them in your life they're all different you say well i like that type but you know even in your life you don't walk around shouting at your family the whole time takes balance my bible says a just balance is a delight having that just but a false balance is an abomination so what we have to do we have to understand that there is that which is a decision there is that which is devotion we need the devotion statement number next i'm saying how can you overcome temptation with the decision with devotion you ready with discipline discipline discipline when our children were coming up and we would teach them not to touch certain things we uh we didn't hide a lot of things from our children because they needed to learn what their boundaries were i know a lot of parents well you know they put everything on the top shelf and stuff like that well you might want to put your most expensive vase on the top shelf but those other 99 cent ones leave on the bottom shelf and teach them not to touch them teach what it is to help your children to be obedient discipline help them to sit up in church and pay attention and listen to what the preacher says discipline help them to know how to help around the house discipline now the bible says in james 1 12 the bible said blessed is the man that endureth temptation oh what is that that's discipline when all of a sudden you have a sinful thought that doesn't mean you have to rest upon it have a sinful thought that doesn't mean you have to entertain it doesn't mean you have to be obedient to it first thessalonians chapter 5 verse 22 says this abstain from all appearance of evil so what do you do you put some things down i'm talking to dads tonight i'm talking to older men tonight but i'm talking everybody under that too you put some discipline things in your life if you have trouble watching the wrong things on television then don't stay up after all your family goes to bed you're putting yourself in a place of temptation get some discipline if you have trouble staying away from the liquor crowd and stuff like that don't go drink milk at the bar have some discipline put some things in your life if you have problems with looking at the wrong things on your phone then uh get somebody to be accountable to for those wrong things have some discipline in your life now i'm saying this the bible teaches that we're supposed to abstain from all those appearances of evil now what is evil knowing to do right choosing to do wrong knowing what is good choosing to do bad he that knoweth to do good and doeth it not to him it has talked to me he that knoweth to do good and doeth it not to him it is talk to me he that knoweth to do good and doeth it not to him it is sin so if you know to do good and you don't do it then it's sin so why not do what you're supposed to do so that you don't fall into sin now what is that that's called discipline harry heinz was born in 1844 he was a german immigrant that came over from germany he landed and grew up and had his business in pittsburgh pennsylvania he came from a poor family he grew vegetables and had a big family garden and he sold the vegetables to be able to work his way through school and work his way through college then after getting married he started his own business it was a horse reddish type of a business where they would take the horseradish and they would go ahead and get it produced and to put it out in 1875 of course the national economy here in the states collapsed it was just everybody's going bankrupt back in those days and so his business went bankrupt he had some people that invested in him in that business and he made a vow he said i'm going to pay them back if i have to pay them back in my own pocket i'm going to pay them back later on he started a business and uh it was called uh heinz it was called heinz 57 it was the h j heinz company it became a national national chain i'm talking about how many you've ever had heinz 57 catch up yeah okay well this is the man that invented that he went back to these gentlemen that had invested in him and he said look he's not i'm gonna pay you back and he paid them back now can i tell you what what is that that is called discipline discipline you know i don't know about you you know here's something that bothers me when somebody owes me money it doesn't bother me and i i try not to say much to them if somebody does owe me something but if i owe somebody a dollar then to eat my lunch if i owe somebody five dollars they'd just eat me up until i can pay them back i mean just eat me up eat me alive now you know why because long ago my daddy taught me some discipline now the same it is in your life when it comes to that which is having discipline in your life to be able to overcome temptations there has to come a time stand up devil if you will and stand up representative of the lord he tries to get me to come he starts shouting at me don't don't touch just shout at me and go ahead shout shout out come on come on he gets all louder he jumps up and down he just he's excited all right and so he's trying to get me to go that way all right now wait a minute the bible talks about how the holy spirit is a still small voice the world does this the world jumps up and down probably better than what he did right there but the world jumps up and down tries to get your attention tries to get you to come has all sorts of if you would please hooks in the water to pull you to pull you to pull you to pull you to pull you to pull you and yet there's a still small voice inside of you listen to me now you know it's true this is bible there's a still small voice inside of you that says don't do that nobody has to really tell you because you have the holy ghost and that holy ghost says don't do that now so what do you have to do now it comes down to decision now it comes down to devotion now it comes down to discipline thank you when we uh was in evangelism we traveled 45 minutes every time that i wasn't preaching off to attend a local fundamental independent baptist church where the bible was preached without apology and i could grow and my wife could grow and our children could grow in the lord we never used that which was the length of time that we traveled the distance of time that we traveled as an inconvenience because we never talked about it we never said oh it's time to go oh no we're always looking forward to church and even if sometimes we were tired because we traveled on the road all that week or whatever we never skipped church not one time because of discipline there has to be discipline in your life how is it that we can overcome temptation with decision with devotion with discipline let me give you just one or two more ready with denouncement with denouncement the bible talks about how jesus said on to this on to satan matthew chapter 4 and verse 10 says then jesus said unto him get the hence satan oh listen to this uh luke chapter four and verse eight uh when jesus was tempted he denounced satan and he said get thee behind me satan in james chapter 4 and verse 7 the bible says resist the devil and he will flee from you all right so the bible talks about how is it that we can denounce other words we can ignore you know we can just ignore yeah i'm not going to have him get up and do it because you know he had trouble there but if he is going to take and he is going to try to get me to come his way he will use everything within his power to get me to do that now you be aware of his parents he'll do everything within his power to get me to do that so what do i do i denounce that i turn away from that i'm not going to have anything to do with that i'm going to walk away from that i'm going to turn my back on that you see the bible talks about how our lord jesus christ gave us the answer to be able to overcome temptation as he himself was tempted in the book of james as james so skillfully writes by way of the inspiration of the holy spirit to resist the devil and he will flee from you one of america's probably most popular politicians if you will was a guy by the name of daniel webster he was in the 1800s it was before the civil war he gave powerful powerful speeches daniel had an older brother by the name of ezekiel and one day ezekiel and daniel as being instructed by their dad every day decided they wanted to do their own thing so dad like normal every day gave him a routine to do chores to do if you will dad came home and he looked at the older boy ezekiel and he says what did you do today ezekiel and ezekiel spoke up being honest he said nothing sir he didn't do any of the chores nothing sir at least he was honest then he looked at daniel and he said what did you do today he said i helped zeke he was honest now folks can i tell you you have to be honest in your heart because nobody else knows you like you know you your parents don't know you like you know you you'd be thinking the wrong thing entertaining the wrong thing nobody knows that and you know nobody knows that and so that's why you continue to think that but somewhere in your life you're going to have to decide that you want to get close to god somewhere in your life you're going to have to decide that it's not any longer playing religion it's not any longer coming to a good church it's not any longer just hearing a bible study or hearing preaching but i myself are going to become a dedicated christian and a part of that is simply being that person that denounces these two boys both grew up to be fine outstanding american citizens but can i say they made some decisions in their life now let me give you this last thing and i'm done i said how is it that we can overcome temptation statement number one i said with decision that's where it starts statement number two i said with devotion that carries it through statement number three i said with discipline you have to be strong in what you believe and just decide i will do right statement number four with denouncement you denounce that which is wicked and turn away statement number five and i'm done tonight and that is with diligence with diligence the bible says in the book of james chapter 1 verses 15 and 16. the bible says lust then it talks about bringing forth sin then it talks about how sin bringeth forth death and then he says this he says this verse 16 he says do not air my beloved brethren he said don't err you know that lust brings forth sin you know that sin brings forth death then he says this do not air do not air there was a missionary to china by the name of jonathan goforth jonathan goforth was an amazing missionary as you study missionaries perhaps he will become one of your heroes of the faith he was a great missionary he labored in china thousands of people came to know christ as savior and when he died his dear wife rosalind wrote a biography about his life she said i marveled at my husband who had lost his total eyesight how much he still loved the word of god so what he would do is he would bring in one of those young people that he had mentored that was now teaching the bible college and he would say read me the scriptures he was there in bed he was very sick he was dying lost his sight they would come in they'd begin to read the scriptures to him and he would correct them because he had memorized almost the entire bible and so when they would read it in chinese he was listening to it american missionary knew chinese well very well and when they would read the scriptures to him and all of a sudden they would make a mistake he would back up and he would correct them say no this is how you say it and he would say it to them he would quote the scriptures and make them read it again to read it correctly now what is that called i'm going to tell you what that's called that's called diligence if you're going to memorize a verse that's called diligence if you're going to memorize a chapter i would dare say that's called more diligence if you're going to memorize a book i would say that's very diligent if you're going to memorize the bible that is ultimate diligence never amazes me how young people can memorize and i think some parents they don't take advantage of the fact that your young people can memorize they memorize how to say words they memorize places they memorize people's names very young age they memorize their favorite cartoon characters very young age they memorize baseball players and football players and soccer players and those that play rugby and those that play all sorts of other games they memorize their names movie stars they memorize their names people that do great acts or great feats of accomplishment they memorize their names and then you ask them can you quote john 3 16 they can't do it might it be that what we teach our children to emphasize or what we emphasize to our children might it be that's what they pick up on may i remind you please that we're supposed to hide the word of god in her heart heart heart one day your heart my dear friend you listen to me listen to me now one day your heart is going to stop beating within your chest and your kid is left alone to defend themselves to be attacked by the wicked one and the only way they can survive is to have the word of god hidden in their hearts that they might not send you know we have great emphasis and we have a growing choir you heard brother palmer i think 60 or so was in the orchestra in choir this morning that's great it's growing back to uh full capacity again and we have ministries that's growing man that's that's great that's fine that's good that's that's that's that's super but here's the thing what are you gonna do one day then all of a sudden pastor's heart stops beating your daddy's heart stops beating oh you say oh brother wells ended on a good note i'm going to try to in just a minute but we do know this that what we hide in our hearts what's the last thing your kids remember when they it's time for bed is there a reading of a verse is there a prayer is that what they remember right before going to bed is there a prayer is there any talking about jesus whatsoever or does the tv go off and the kids go to bed and the last thing they remember is somebody shooting somebody else and that's in their mind and in their heart is that what they remember do they remember you telling your dear wife honey i love you see in the morning you telling your husband love you good night is that what they remember or do you remember you fighting and fussing maybe even for real boxing is that what they remember do they remember anything that would help them to grow up and practice diligence in serving god one last verse i'll read you and i'm done the bible says in 1st peter chapter 5 and verse 8. i quoted it a moment ago i want to read it to you now be sober be viligent because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walketh about seeking here it is whom here it is whom see it whom he may devour he wants to devour you he wants to devour your kids i think you ought to pray a hedge about your family i think you ought to decide as dad and mom to help your kids overcome temptation put some of these principles in place heads bowed and eyes closed you say preacher i want you to pray for me tonight i don't know for sure if i died i'd go to heaven there's a doubt reservation lack of peace i want you to pray for me i'm not sure i'm going to go to heaven i would really like
