Abstain from all appearance of evil (1Thess 5:22).

• “Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.” (Psalms 50.22,23).

Many times, we forget all of that Jesus did for us and waste time in the sin. As if the sin, in itself, wasn't a great evil, we try to delay skidding on its twisted roads.
However, the Holy Scripture says:

• “Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?” (Prov 6.27).

We never ought to consider keeping ourselves on the paths of the sin. Not even deny submitting ourselves to Jesus, allowing Him to skim even the smallest dirt that float in our hearts (It’s necessary straining at a gnat – see Mat 23.24).

Finally, enough to enjoy swiveling around the sin. Enjoy looking out for the minimal wonders that Jesus works around you.

Contemplate leaving for the sake of the brothers of weak faith (see 1Peter 5.8,9).
