THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV.

LET'S BEGIN BY ACKNOWLEDGING THE REALITY OF TEMPTATION IN OUR LIVES.

GENERALLY TEMPTATION SLIPS UP ON US BEFORE WE RECOGNIZE THE SERIOUSNESS OF IT.

INVOLVED US WITHOUT OUR EVEN KNOWING IT.

"Who's there," I cried,
"A little lonely sin."
"Enter," I said,
And all hell was in.

THE THIRD THING WE NEED TO SEE IS THE ADDICTIVE NATURE OF TEMPTATION.

THIS IS ALL TO SAY THAT THE ONLY EFFECTIVE WAY FOR MOST OF US TO DEAL WITH TEMPTATION IS AVOID IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
