Don't Tempt People to Sin: Command #24

Americans like to be independent. “I determine my future, I make my own decisions, and I accept the consequences, good or bad.” The problem is that none of us lives in a bubble. Every decision we make affects other people, even the decisions we make in private. And according to Jesus, when I influence someone to make a morally bad decision, I am held to account!

Jesus said, “What sorrow awaits the world, because it tempts people to sin. Temptations are inevitable, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting.” - Matthew 18:7

Are you ever tempted to compromise to win the admiration of others? Maybe a white lie to make yourself look better? Just remember that moral compromises have ripple effects that will likely affect others in ways you can’t anticipate.
