Joshua Harris preaches from Proverbs 3:7 - Turn Away from Evil. He gives an excellent visual illustration with a beanbag and drives home the point that we need to turn from evil.
Harris' words ring true. How often do we flirt with evil, rationalizing our actions and justifying our motives? When to be wise, we are to fear the LORD, and turn away and flee from evil. A little step closer here, a little compromise there, what harm can it be? Until finally we are consumed by evil.
"Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil." - Proverbs 3:7 (ESV)

Agreed. One of my major take-offs this year is to fear God and keep a clear conscience. When I compromised thinking it would improve a situation, it just made things worse. But when I rectify things in order to keep my conscience clear, God is so gracious to shower blessings. It's amazing.
