Why does life have to be so hard from start to finish? Why is life so difficult sometimes? There is a simple answer to these questions, especially for the Christian. We are at war— a flat out, knock down, drag out war. Every Christian is a walking battlefield. Our first responsibility in this war is to realize and understand that we are “in” a war. That’s what we will set out to accomplish in this message.

The more you know your enemy the better you are to counteract their moves—to claim victory in those battles. That’s why it is important for us to study God’s word to find the truth about Satan. We are going to study him today—Not to lift him up or to bring him glory in ANYWAY—But to see him as he really is, a powerful but defeated, evil being.

In this message, we are going to look at James 1:13-15 and how temptation plays itself out in our lives.
