I have found that there are some common traps that ensnare and bring great damage to families. To be sure there are more than three, but I believe that most of the traps that threaten families fall under these three categories.

1.    Sexual immorality (Proverbs 7) 

2.    Worldly entanglements (Proverbs 22:7, Romans 13:5-8)

3.    False sense of safety (1 Thessalonians 5:1-11) 

Let us consider these three traps and how the Bible teaches that we can avoid them.
