Have you ever been in a tough place brought on by your own decisions? Have you wondered how you got there? Was it all at once, or over a period of time? Scott Kedersha teaches us about temptation and sin by examining the adulterous woman in Proverbs 7.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
-Walk in the way.
-As Christians, we want to protect the teachings and the way of the Scriptures.
-We should be cautious of anything that distracts or pulls us from the way of Christ.
-Don’t fall into the trap of learning a lot about God and the Bible and simply becoming a smarter sinner.
-Do not be led astray.
-Do your friends lead you more toward sin or God?
-Where are you most tempted? What do you think will bring you life outside of God?
-We all struggle with sin. All of us. Don’t buy the lie that you are alone and the only one who struggles.
-Sin always over promises and under delivers. Always.
-Know what’s at stake.
-Affairs don’t start in hotel rooms. They start when you decide to keep things from your spouse. They are one thousand small decisions leading to one big decision.
-Know where you are tempted. Know your ditches and how the enemy will take you out. Have a death grip on these things.
