From which source do temptations actually come?  Is it primarily internal or external?  Let's review what the Bible tells us. 

James 1:13-14 KJV
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

The Key Principles of Effective Bible Study is a resource which outlines core concepts shown in the Scriptures that will help you to better understand many Biblical themes and doctrines.  We have an extended, 24-part podcast series on these principles, and a condensed, 9-part series called God's Precious Word, that is based on the same resource.

We also recommend that you check out the True Wisdom podcast which I co-host with Robert Baker -- a different format for Bible Study.

Finally, here are some additional highly recommended resources:

We pray that all of these resources will be very helpful to you in your Bible Studies.
