What Were They Thinking ~ Message 58

  In this Sunday evening message the common mistake that everyone makes that gets them into trouble is considered, along with how to avoid this trap.

  Have you ever wondered what could have happened to someone who was very well respected and yet had fallen into some unimaginable immoral sin that destroyed their lives?  Had a set of circumstances driven them to do things that were out of character for them, or was there a temptation so great that they were unable to resist it?

  A neighbor three doors down with a wife, a home and two small children working as a prison guard lost everything when he was caught smuggling things in for prisoners.  What led up to this decision?  Is there a simple answer?  In a word, yes.
