I mentioned videos from the recent sharing Jesus workshop that we did at Mentoring Men for the Master. I will include the links to those below for any who are interested. (Please note that many of the videos are shorter because we provided additional time those weeks for the small groups to practice and discuss sharing the Gospel.)

**CORRECTIONS*
At one point when quoting John 4:35, I accidentally omitted part of the verse. The other times I read it, I read that part correctly. However, here is the verse: "Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest."
When I said, "Seeking out people; saving people; restoring people to relationship with God; forgiving our sins" I was referring to what Jesus does. I was not implying that we ourselves can save people, restore them to relationship with God, or forgive their sins. Nevertheless, Jesus works through us.
I paraphrased John 7:17. Here is the exact quote: "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority."

**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**

At one point I refer to the "temptation to think and feel". I meant to say "temptation to think or feel something" (implying something contrary to the Word of God). Obviously, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with thinking and feeling. God Himself thinks and feels. Rather, the point is what we are thinking about and if our feelings are godly.

Today we continue our discussion about spiritual warfare and look at one particular title of the enemy's that reveals how he operates.

**CLARIFICATIONS**

I mentioned how the enemy tempted Jesus after Jesus had fasted forty days. Luke 4:1-2 says, "And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry." It's possible based on this passage that the enemy tempted Jesus not only at the end of the forty days, but also during the forty days. Nevertheless, it doesn't undermine, diminish, or change the point that the enemy struck at a moment of vulnerability.
