The nature of temptation - according to psychology

The nature of temptation - The Boston Globe

Reminds me of the Biblical teaching about original sin. . . and our daily prayer to lead us not into temptation. Luther points out that God indeed tempts no one. The devil, the world and our flesh take care of that and quite well too.

The Apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 7 that the good we would do, we do not do and what we would not do, we do.

Thanks be to God, we have a Savior who washes away our sin. That washing does not, of course, permit us to go back to the sin. Lots of things to ponder here.
