#12. Temptation, the Bible & Eating Disorders with Jayme Muller17 Apr 202400:12:55

Verses referenced in this episode:

  • 1 Corinthians 10:13 (ERV) "The only temptations that you have are the same temptations that all people have. But you can trust God. He will not let you be tempted more than you can bear. But when you are tempted, God will also give you a way to escape that temptation. Then you will be able to endure it."
  • James 1:14-15 (ERV) "You are tempted by the evil things you want. Your own desire leads you away and traps you. Your desire grows inside you until it results in sin. Then the sin grows bigger and bigger and finally ends in death."
  • Matthew 26:41 (ERV) "Stay awake and pray for strength against temptation. Your spirit wants to do what is right, but your body is weak."

This is truly the way to worship him. [2] Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”
