Temptation! (24 of 40)
Series: 1 Corinthians - And You Think You've Got Problems

1 Corinthians 10:12-13
If you have your Bible, please turn to 1st Corinthians chapter 10. We've been going through 1st Corinthians now for quite a while. We're going through verse by verse. And tonight, I just want to look at two verses that deal with the subject of temptation.
Now how many people in here have trouble with certain foods, certain foods that tempt you? Maybe it's ice cream. Who has trouble with ice cream? All right. Cookies? Oreos? I can eat a whole thing of Oreos. Some people have a lot of trouble with popcorn. Does anybody have trouble with popcorn? Man, I can leave popcorn. That's not a struggle for me. But when you're dieting those foods that you have trouble with, they're a big-time temptation. When I diet, I typically try and do the Adkins Diet, the no- carb diet. It doesn't always work very well. Sometimes I'm on it for hours (laughter). But I was on it and I was doing pretty good. It was like Day 3 of Adkins. No carbs. Sarah comes over. It's on a Friday. I'm in my office. I'm studying, preparing for Sunday. She comes over and she says, ''Daddy.'' I said, ''Yeah.'' She goes, ''Look what I made.''

They were just incredible. And she said, ''I made these.'' And she said, ''Don't they look good?'' And I said, ''They look really good.'' And she said, ''Well, tell me how they taste.'' I said, ''I can't. I'm on Adkins.'' She said, ''Well, Daddy, you're going to hurt my feelings.'' And I said, ''Well, I really can't.'' She said, ''Please,'' and then she stuck the lip out. It's like, ''Oh, okay, I will.'' And I said, ''I'm just going to take a little bite.'' And so I took a little bite. They were so good. And I said, ''Well, I can take a little more. I didn't really have all of that piece.'' I took a little more. And then she took them in the kitchen, and then I follo ...
