Run from Sin

TV: (baseball announcer) Three, nothing, Dodgers. We’ll be back after this short break.

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: Are you quick to avoid temptation?

Man: Ooh. I’m turning my head. Where’s mute?

Woman: Is it that commercial again?

Man: Yep. Tell me when I can look.

Woman: Uhhh . . . don’t look yet.

Nancy: When faced with temptation, wise people don’t stand around wondering what to do. They get away.

Man: Actually, this game really isn’t that important to me. Let’s turn it off and do something else.

Woman: Are you sure?

Man: Positive.

Nancy: When temptation comes, we need to do what Joseph did when his boss’s wife tried to seduce him.

“She caught him by his garment, saying, ‘Lie with me.’ But he left his garment in her hand and fled and got out of the house.”

Nancy: He fled and got out of the house. He refused to indulge in sin, even for a minute.

The next time temptation appears before your eyes, remember Joseph, and get away as fast as you can.

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.
