Resisting Sin Handout – Web of Temptation.

| Uncategorized

Today I got to teach Lesson 28 from the YW manual on:
Resisting Sin.
Such an important lesson for our youth as they face MOUNDS of temptation at school each day.

Spiderman seems to be all the rage in my house these days.  My boys eat drink and sleep all things WEB-ish. 

 {No joke..yesterday Grant got some glue stuck on his hand and he thought FOR SURE he had been blessed with Spiderman’s powers…being able to ‘STICK’ to everything}.

This lesson has a section on it that’s all about traps, lures and snares and how Satan uses these same ‘traps’ to lure us into temptation.  I immediately thought of Spiderman … and spiders….and webs…

I found a neat analogy online having to do with this and shared these thoughts with my girls:

Satan resembles a spider.  He silently spins a
web of temptation and then just waits for us to fly into it.  He cunningly
hides his web in a place where we can’t see the strands, and then
just waits…days, or weeks, or perhaps even years.  But when the
moment is right, when we are caught fast in a struggle against our inner
desires, he swiftly comes and injects his venom into us. 

The translucent web may be nearly invisible in the shadows. 
As long as the web remains safely tucked away in a dark place, unsuspecting
prey continue to fly into it.  But what makes the web visible is the
light.  A ray of sunshine bursting through the trees will make a web
sparkle.  A beam of light from a lamp exposes the vile trap for what it
is, and the spider goes scurrying away to hide itself.  As long as we keep
Satan’s web of temptation safely tucked away in the dark corners and deep
gloom, we will continue to fly into it. But God is light and shining THE LIGHT on Satan’s web destroy’s it’s powers.

Alas…my SPIDERMAN SOAP handout was born.

This quote from Sterling W. Sill is one of my favorite’s.

I’m currently trying to figure out how to ‘offer’ this as a printable with the click of a button.
