Stay close
Don’t sin because others do, but stay close to God.
1 Timothy 5:22
We live in a sinful world. When sin is so boldly out in the open everywhere for all to see, sometimes we can become numb to it…something that would have shocked and offended us before, suddenly doesn’t seem so shocking…and pretty soon it doesn’t offend us or even bother us at all…and when that happens it’s easy for us ourself to do the very thing we thought we would never do. Don’t let yourself become numb to sin. Of course it is impossible to be completely with out sin because we our human and there is no human that has never sinned, but the key is to not knowingly sin and not care. Don’t lose your conviction. Stay close to God. Stay in His word, in the bible, in prayer. The closer we get and stay to God, the more we will be able to have the strength to resist temptations and want to live to please God, and not live to please ourself. We live for Him. Not for us.
