Off-Guard: to be taken by surprise; to be caught when one is vulnerable, careless or inattentive.
Have you ever been walking down the sidewalk, either alone or with a friend, and maybe you’re listening to music if you’re by yourself or you’re having a conversation and looking around at the scenery where you’re walking and all of a sudden you find yourself flat on your face? There was a crack in the sidewalk, or maybe a tree root sticking up or something that caught the toe of your shoe and you went down.
Some sins trip us up just like that. We know about “the big” sins and we keep our eyes open to battle them, but what about some of the sins that “sneak in” and catch us off guard?
In this series we’ll take a look at some of these sins and consider what God has to say to us to help us keep our guard up against them.
