      Trials & temptations
      The selected theme for this issue of SLAM is 'trials and temptations'. Life is filled with trials and temptations, with its share for each of us. The question is....how are we going to cope up with it?
      At this point we need to remember what Jesus said....."I will never leave you nor forsake you". In the midst of our trials we need to turn to Jesus, surrendering all and trusting in Him.
      Temptations are always triggered off by a way of thought, and therefore in order to avoid further temptation, we need to take that thought captive to the obedience of Christ. We also know that God has provided a way to escape from every temptation...."No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" - I Cor 10:13.
      Glenn Austin in his article "Hope amidst trials and temptations" (up ahead) shares with us how we need to trust in God and out attitudes during difficult times.
