About this episode

Duffy Robbins discusses the three temptations outlined in 1 John 2:15–17 that can lead believers astray.

Bible Teacher Duffy Robbins takes us into 1 John 2:15–17, where the Apostle John maps out what Duffy calls "the Devil's Triangle" — three temptations that cause more believers to crash and drift than almost anything else. The first is the desires of the flesh: the things we want to do. The second is the desires of the eyes: the things we want to have. And the third is the pride of life: who we want to be. Duffy reminds us that the enemy doesn't attack us with obvious evil — he lures us with disordered versions of desires God actually gave us. The good news? Jesus has already shown us the way through: deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him.
