The Fall

It's quick and easy to fall into sin. There's that brief moment to react to circumstances in our lives, and if we get it wrong it can cause a downward spiral into destruction. There's that saying that says it takes years to build up character and only a moment to tear it down. That is very true. That is why it is so important to stand firm in Christ and have the truth of the Gospel embedded in your heart.

Sex sells. You see it everywhere! Companies that have nothing to do with females, have women in loose clothing advertising their products. It is something that we will never get away from. For guys, the temptation of women has been around since the beginning. Just take a look in Genesis. Genesis 3:6 shows that Adam had an opportunity in the garden right after Eve fell into temptation. He had the opportunity to follow what God said and obey, or eat the fruit that Eve gave him. There was a moment in the garden where Adam had to choose. This moment played a pivotal part in humanity as Adam followed after a woman instead of the truth of Christ. Man has been chasing after woman ever since and it is something that we will constantly have to battle. It is so easy to get distracted and carried away from the plans that God has for you if your focus is on the opposite sex and not on God first. Don't allow yourself to be consumed by someone to the point of compromising your relationship with God. Proverbs 4:23 "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." When your relationships are God honoring, He blesses you in incredible ways.
