Turning Down The First One

Wednesday, November 3, 2021

There used to be a commercial for potato chips that stated, "Nobody can eat just one." Junk food is made to be addictive. So, too, that's the nature of sin. It has an addictive nature. You take one bite and then another. You take one bite of that thought and you think of another. You take one bite of that sinful action, and you take another and another. It starts with just one thing - but then leads to much more. One flirtation leads to adultery and one sip leads to alcoholism. The enemy is betting you can't just eat one. Therefore, the way you beat it is by the power of the Spirit to avoid that first potato chip. You can't just eat one, so don't eat any at all. The best way to deal with sin is to have none of it. Cut it off at the start. Know your weakness, temptation, and take precaution. When it comes to sin and to that specific sinful indulgence you've dealt with - it's like a potato chip - "No one can eat just one." Therefore don't even eat one!rn
