A lot of people blame the devil, their past, or even God for the sins they keep falling into. But James gives a much clearer answer.In this message, Dr. Shah explains how trials and temptations travel the same road, and how temptation begins when we stop trusting God and start turning inward. This sermon walks through the blame game, the seduction process of sin, and why the answer is not just trying harder, but refocusing on God’s goodness and remembering who you are in Christ. If you are battling temptation, repeated sin, or a trial that is starting to pull you in the wrong direction, this message will help you think about it biblically and respond with hope.~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactGIVE: https://clearviewbc.org/giveBOOKS: https://abidanshah.com/books/LISTEN LATER: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506DR.
