The little things...

Satan starts small...

Google and the President have displayed support of a public figure on Easter and it isn't Christ. Fine, no big deal right?
Legalized same-sex marriage... Fine. I mean, it's not like their choice is going to affect you personally.... Right?
People die everyday because of drunk drivers, even though driving under the influence is illegal. People die because of an overdose on illegal drugs.
People die because of addictions but same-sex marriage isn't going to kill anyone... Right?

Satan starts small...
He starts with...
A few miles over the speed limit, you aren't killing anyone right?
One angry feeling, it's okay to hold onto as long as you don't act on it...
One swear word, it's not like the tongue has any power to hurt.
One longing look at the good looking man or woman down the way, it isn't like you thought of having sex with them...
One drink of alcohol, it won't get you drunk and it never has to happen again...
One cigarette won't burn a hole in your lungs or hurt anyone else...
One movie scene, the actors are responsible for the sin, not you.
One make out session, it's not sex, it doesn't lead to sex, it's just a longer than usual kiss.
One night sharing someone's bed before marriage, it's not sex, it doesn't lead to sex, you're just too tired to drive home safely...

One omission of God from the pledge, from the money, from the law, from the education of our children, from the foundation of our nation...

Before anyone realizes how far too far is, too far has come and gone... Fined, imprisoned for speeding, hitting/killing someone because you couldn't stop the car a few seconds sooner, anger causes cancer, swearing and hateful words you can never take back from the person you will not see alive another day, that longing look was noticed and flirtation is exchanged, the alcohol in your blood is enough to place you at the scene of a murder crime someone else committed, that cigarette happened to be the one that could change your health overnight, that make out session brought on unexpected feelings and the other person was willing to go further from the beginning, too many nights in that welcoming bed become a habit of casual intercourse, suicide starts to sound like the only way to truly get out of this horrible world...

An omission of God means that everything that ever held value becomes worthless. Morality, family, the air you breathe.

Where does it stop? Where did it start?

Are you ready to be an example?

Start small. Don't let the devil get started.

If he has had a place in your life, kick him out. Invite the Savior to be your new soulmate.

God gave us his son. The least we can do is live our life for him in return.
