Careful Driving

"How near to a precipice could you drive without going over?" questioned a gentleman of each who applied for the position of coachman. The answers varied: "Within a yard;" "Within a foot;" but the one who replied, "I would keep as far from it as possible," got the job.
That is what our attitude toward sin should be. To go as far toward sin as we can without actually sinning is folly. To keep far away from sin as we can, is to live close to Jesus. Careful driving is a worthwhile virtue.
"Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away." Prov. 4:14, 1514Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. 15Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. (Proverbs 4:14‑15).
