FLEE
1 Corinthians 6:18:
Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.
2 Timothy 2:22:
So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
You see that word?
Flee?
Yeah, that’s not implied.
FLEE MEANS FLEE.
Flee doesn’t mean close your eyes, move over to the side, or even go to a different room.
FLEE MEANS GET OUT OF THERE!!! RUN! DON’T WALK! FLEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
AND DON’T LOOK BACK!!! DON’T GIVE SIN A CHANCE TO DRAG YOU BACK IN!
Make sin lose it’s breath trying to catch up with you!
Look at Lot and his family in Genesis 19. Surrounded by the sin and filth of Sodom and Gomorrah, the angels, in verse 16 use that same word a couple of times to urge Lot and his family to get out of town before the Lord destroyed it utterly! In escaping, Lot’s wife makes the huge mistake of looking back at the destruction of the cities, and becomes a product of that destruction. DON’T LOOK BACK!!!
Or look at Joseph in Genesis 39! Potiphar’s wife wanted a piece of that! And when she tried to grab him, the Bible says Joseph ran away from her so fast, he left his clothes in homegirl’s hand! GET OUTTA THERE!
AND FAST!
I’M TALKING STARVING CHEETAH FAST!
I’M TALKING DC’S THE FLASH ON ROLLER SKATES FAST!
I’M TALKING USAIN BOLT TAPED TO A ROLLER COASTER TRAVELLING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT FASSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTT!
RUN AWAY FROM SIN AND DESPERATELY TOWARDS JESUS!
FLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FLEE
During our walk this morning, we saw a dog running for his life down the street. His owner was traveling right behind him in his Jeep, throwing treats out of the window hoping to catch him. That poor furry baby would not stop, and looked back at the owner like leave-me-alone! I hope they are reunited, and more importantly safe and unharmed.
