Presentation transcript:

Why don’t we look ahead? Sin doesn’t advertise its consequences. Lag time between sin and consequences. Consequences of sin don’t appear serious. “It won’t happen to me”.

What will happen “in the end”? Fornication (5:1-6) Drinking and drunkenness (23:29-35) Going a way that seems right (14:12; 16:25) Dishonest gain (20:21) Hasty accusations (25:8)

Avoiding sadness in “in the end” Look ahead (1 Tim 4:7-8, 15-16) Don’t act on impulse (Prov 14:29) Consider how your actions reflect on others (Prov 22:1; Eccl 7:1) Pray and seek God’s will (2 Sam 5:19, 23; Mk 1:35; Psa 145; 146)
