The Bait of Satan

I just finished an incredible book by John Bevere, "The Bait of Satan".
This book was so incredible becuase I began reading it and then noticed how God was teaching me lessons in my own life as I read it.
The book deals with the issues of offense. Everyone has been offended or hurt by someone and the way we deal with that offense or hurt determines if we grow or become stagnant.

Just thought I would blog a few quotes from John Bevere that really challenged me.

"The knowledge of God's Word without love is a destructive force because it puffs us up with pride and legalism."

"A minister or a Christian is what he lives, not what he preaches."

"When you resist the temptation to be offended, Godbrings you great victory."

"Absolutely no man, woman, child, or devil can ever get you out of the will of God! No one but God holds your destiny."

"If you stay free from offense you will stay in God's will. IF you become offended you will be taken captive by the enemy to fulfill his own purpose and will."

There are many more quotes from this book that challenged me. Think about what I've already shared and I'll share more next time. Or hey, why not head out and pick up your own copy of "The Bait of Satan". I promise you it will challenge you too!
