•  If you stumble, then pray, “Jesus, you still love me.”


             Get repetitive with the three-point “resistance plan.” If you practice it
        for a day, you will find yourself repeating it again and again, the next day
        and the next. What are your experiences, and what did you find when you
        repeated Romans 13:14?



















             The truth is that this is a spiritually dangerous world. There’s soul-
        searing evil all around, and the one way to stay safe is by exercising your
        freedom to follow Jesus on the narrow path he shows you.
             The good news: You don’t have to know the path yourself. Jesus will
        show it to you; yours is simply to follow. To listen. To obey.




                            I Wish I Hadn’t Done That.
            Stretch
            Activity             Have you ever thought, “I wish that I had not
              Two           done that?”
                                 Regarding sin, there were two thoughts shared
                            in this session.
             First:  Sin is momentary pleasure but consequences for a lifetime.
             Second:  When considering something that you know that you should
        not do, magnify the consequences.

             Have you had a moment when you did something that you thought
        would be fun or give pleasure and it turned out far worse than you in-
        tended?
