James 1:13-15

"When tempted, no one should say, 'God is tempting me.' For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone. Each one is tempted when by her own evil desire, she is dragged away and enticed. Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, when is full-grown it gives birth to death."


Simply put, we are our own worst enemy!
It is when our own desires and enticements
drag us away from keeping our eyes on God.
There are 3 stages - desire, sin, & death.
Spiritual death is that which separates us from God.
We must be on guard,
stay morally strong and resist the sin of this world.
