Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.
James 1:14-15
There's an old story about a frog who found himself in a pot of water. The water was nice and cool, so he had a great time swimming around the pot. A little while later, the water got a little warmer, but the frog wasn't too concerned because the sun was out and he was having too much fun. The longer he swam in the water, the warmer it seemed to get. After a while, the frog had boiled to death.
A rather gruesome end to the frog, but it makes a point. We are like that frog when we decide that sin is just to much fun. So we stay and play longer and longer until we are trapped like the frog. Here's my point: When we find out that we are in that pool of sin, GET OUT FAST! Confess it, be done with it, and don't look back!
