My son, if sinful men entice you, do not give in to them. If they say, “Come along with us; let’s lie in wait for innocent blood, let’s ambush some harmless soul;

– Proverbs 1:10-11 (NIV)

Today’s commentary
by Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, GraceNYC.org Temptation is all around us. There are multiple times in a day when we are faced with decisions that will affect other people in a detrimental way. The ambushes of the Western world in the 21st Century are not along a desert road, but they can occur around a water fountain during a break, or even at a church event. Don’t give into this conniving, for in the end the plotters only set a trap for themselves by their actions. The wisdom of this proverb is as relevant for us today as when it was first written.
