The In-Between Is Life’s Test
- Erwin McManus reframes the “in-between” as the normal space of life where tests occur rather than exceptions.
- He argues these tests develop perseverance that leads to maturity and wholeness.
Same Test, Different Intentions
- Trials and temptations share the same original word and are both tests of the soul.
- The difference depends on source and intent: God-refining versus evil-destructive outcomes.
Respond Intentionally To Tests
- Choose responses that align with God's intent to turn tests into growth, not ruin.
- Ask God for wisdom when tempted and believe without doubting to receive it.
