The Wrong Way Won’t Work This Time Either
![Rarely does the enemy come along with one huge temptation outlined in blinking neon lights. Usually, he sends multiple seemingly insignificant distractions that entice me away from what should be my focus.](https://www.katherinewalden.com/wp-content/uploads/distractionoverload-710x335.jpg)
I found this nugget from 20 years ago and polished it up just a tad. Enjoy! This was back in the day before I owned a cell phone and when I still had cable tv! Multiple windows were open on my desktop computer, telemarketers were calling, and the news was on in the background. I […]
Tempted to Judge Another’s Temptation?
![Temptation Although we don't all face the same temptations, we do battle a common enemy. He is relentless in his tactics.

Allow the Lord to be Your Defense
![Perhaps you have tried to barricade yourself from temptation or sinful habits by avoiding the issue. What you can't see won't hurt you, or so you try to convince yourself. Perhaps you've tried to resist temptation through sheer willpower and positive confession. You've discovered how flimsy your self-defense strategy is.](https://www.katherinewalden.com/wp-content/uploads/house-barricade-wp-kjw.jpg)
