🌱 "Just a Little Won't Hurt..." 🌱
Gateway sins: how small missteps lead to spiritual downfall .

You ever heard of the term gateway drugs? It's the idea that something small—like a casual drink or one cigarette—can lead a person down a path they never intended. It starts with "just a little," but it opens the door to bigger risks.

Well, sin can work the same way.

It starts off small: just a little lie here, a minor indulgence there. But that “little” sin opens the door. Soon, we might find ourselves deeper than we expected, entangled in things we thought we'd never do.

It reminds me of Adam and Eve. One bite was all it took. One bite that led to pain, separation from God, and a world of consequences. That tiny compromise was enough to shift the whole course of humanity.

And that's why even little sins matter. They’re like gateway drugs, drawing us in bit by bit. Let’s be mindful of what we let into our lives—even the small stuff—because it can pull us away from the path God has for us.

“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7) 🙏

Friends, let’s keep our focus on God’s truth and strength. Even the smallest step away matters because it’s those little decisions that shape our walk. Let’s pray for strength to resist every temptation, no matter how “small.”

Let’s shut the door on the little compromises and stay rooted in what truly brings life.
