Keep Your Hands Out Of The Cookie Jar! A little boy’s mother had just baked a fresh batch of cookies and placed them in the cookie jar, giving instructions that no one touch them until after dinner. The fact is, no one can resist temptation with his or her hand in the cookie jar. Resisting the temptation to be tempted is “Keeping our hands out of the cookie jar.”  It is something that each Christian needs to learn how to do.  The Bible gives us many pointers on how to resist all temptations.  Some of these tips  are found in Ephesians 5:1-7.
