Big Idea: God doesn't tempt anyone to do wrong.
Key Verse: James 1:13 "And remember, no one who wants to do wrong should ever say, 'God is tempting me.' God is never tempted to do wrong, and He never tempts anyone else either."
Initial Thoughts: This statement begs the question: Who is the tempter then? The garden story, Job, and the story of Jesus' tempations would be very applicable here. In every case its Satan who tempts not God. However, God was there and available in every situation. We want to encourage you all to read through these stories to find out what God is doing, where is He when we are being tempted? We don't want to focus on Satan even though its the focusing on negative (Satan is the tempter). We want the focus to always be directly about God, like: 'God is...' 'God wants...'. This is why we need to present the character of God and what His relationship is to our temptations.
1 Cor. 10:12,13 is another verse to meditate on.

This is really encouraging! Its cool to see people take an interest in the children so this extent. I like how everyone isn't just putting their ideas on there and not listening to what others have to say. Everyone is reading everyone else's comments and engaging with each other and getting feedback and answers to ?'s. It's cool to see the interest we take in one another. This was just a observation I had and I thought I would share it with all of you!
