I have to agree with lv2ski.....With sin ever increasing, today we have gamer addicts that can't lay the controller down. That's bad.
EVEN IF it wasn't a problem in Bible days, it sure is now. Again, we need to look at other scriptures & other sins that promote these problems.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 (NASB)
[SUP]1 [/SUP]But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. [SUP]2 [/SUP]For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, [SUP]3 [/SUP]unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, [SUP]4 [/SUP]treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, [SUP]5 [/SUP]holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
Since these sins run rampant today, we have to be more careful what we expose ourselves to.
Without self-control..... not just lacking it. With all the addictions ever increasing, the church has to be more vigilant to flee from sin. It seems today we're all having to run like Joseph did. How can we have enough self-confidence to think we can handle it?
[HR][/HR]1 Corinthians 6:18 (KJV)
[SUP]18 [/SUP]Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
[HR][/HR]1 Corinthians 10:14 (KJV)
[SUP]14 [/SUP]Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
