Standing up to temptation.
James 1:13
Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.
Personal Challenge
It is so easy to blame my sin on someone, or something, else. This is a lie of the enemy. My sin comes from my choice to sin. Sure, the world is full of temptations, none of which come from God, but it is my own responsibility to not allow these temptations to take hold in my mind or my heart and then grow into sin. Jesus has given me the power and the authority to say "No!" to temptation and therefore not to sin. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner!
