Comes from James 4:4-6
It is not a sin to be tempted. The sin is when we GIVE IN.
The cure for evil desires is HUMILITY. Pride makes us self-centered and leads us to conclude that we deserve all we can SEE, TOUCH, or IMAGINE. It creates greedy appetites for far more than we NEED. We can be released from our self-centered desires by humbling ourselves before God, realizing that all we really need is his APPROVAL. When the Holy Spirit fills us, we see that this world's seductive attractions are only cheap substitutes for what God has to offer. WOW! GOD IS SO GOOD!
