Perry Noble, a pastor from Anderson, South Carolina, posted these six temptations at http://www.perrynoble.com/:
1. Selling out God's vision in exchange for a paycheck.
2. Trying to please everyone.
3. Thinking that working harder will solve the problem.
4. Sacrificing their family.
5. Not delegating their weaknesses.
6. Avoiding conflict.
7. Not spending personal time with God.
At different points over the almost 14 years at Christian Life Assembly, I've battled all of these temptations--never at the same time, but at different points. The temptation to please everyone was great at the beginning. Back then, we were just looking for bodies to fill the seats and help unload the van. During the building project, the temptation was to sacrifice family time. Interesting stuff.
