Defeating All Temptations

Romans 6:12 – “Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions.”    THEME OF THE DAY: DEFEATING ALL TEMPTATIONS.  We will be faced with it from the moment we wake up till our heads are laid upon a pillow late at night.  It will come in all forms.
