The Enticement Of Sinners. . .

Why is it that we say we are Christians, yet when we are around sinners we keep quiet when it comes to what we believe. All to often we allow them to entice us into their ways. For example, your thoughts become like theirs and when you open your mouth your words become like theirs. One of the hardest things to do is not to join in when others are engaged in gossip. The devil will try all that he can to get you involved in their conversation. One thing that we have to remember when we are dealing with non-believers is they don't really have morals, no self control. They don't care if they break you, if they cause you to fall. The Father on the other hand does not want you to fall, to be enticed by the ways of the world. If we let sinners get the best of us, we are not doing what we should be doing as Christians. Let's not be enticed by sinners, but entice them with the glorious blessings and life that the Father has to offer. They may not care about us, but we should care about them.

I'll have to disagree with your statement.

I don't believe, but I'll bet I have just as much morals as you do. The difference is I won't judge you on your morals. As a matter of fact who gives you the right to judge non-believers, God? I don't blame Satan or others for yelling at my wife and kids like you do or not being able to control my temper at work like you did. I take responsiblity for my own actions because we all have choices and we decide to make them or not by the morals we live by. You just use Satan as a cop out when you do something wrong. Be a man and take responsiblity for your actions and not blame someone that exists only in your faith.
