Jeremy Utley - Don't Waste A Temptation
Summary
The speaker advises listeners never to waste a temptation, viewing it as a divine opportunity. Drawing from Hebrews 4, he emphasizes that when tempted, the first action must be to pray and draw near to the throne of grace. Furthermore, he uses James 1 to distinguish between being tempted and actually sinning, suggesting that recognizing temptation is a reminder of the persistent 'flesh' within us, which should prompt a renewed hatred for wickedness.
