Emma Dotter is joined today by Join the journey’s friend, Shane Rasch. One of the ways that we are given the way out to not sin, is by not making the decision to get close to sin in the first place. We don’t need to make decisions to validate our sin, but decisions to not set ourself up to not sin. Look for ways to not excuse sinful decisions. 
 
 Additional Scripture used in this passage:
 2 Timothy 2:22,  “Flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness…”
 Psalm 44:21, “He knows the secrets of the heart…”
 Romans13:14, “make no provisions for the flesh in regards to it’s lust…”
