Biblical Guard Rails, Security Rules, Together With Boot The Bucket Ramps

“A debate at the transcend of the precipice is far improve than an ambulance at the bottom of it.” J. Sidlow Baxter*

Some Christians overemphasize rules, merely non all rules are bad. Some are similar fences or guardrails that forestall our auto from careening over the border into a valley of sin.

Sometimes nosotros necessitate guardrails in addition to other times nosotros necessitate security rules. 

When nosotros come upward to an intersection nosotros necessitate to expect both ways, evaluate the oncoming dangers, in addition to continue alone if the route is clear. 

We’ve all had “spiritual accidents” in addition to ended upward on dangerous roads that led to overeating, overspending, anger, immorality, irresponsibility, etc.

If nosotros give-up the ghost ourselves inwards the middle of a temptation traffic jam, God promises to render a agency out (1 Corinthians 10:13). But He warns us to avoid dangerous roads altogether (2 Timothy 2:22).

We necessitate guardrails in addition to security rules; in addition to if neither work, nosotros necessitate to hurry off the leave of absence ramp that God provides.
