Do you know someone that has an addiction, alcohol, drugs, eating disorder, and they were

doing so well and then they fell off the wagon? How do you keep from falling into temptation? How do we keep from

falling into the very thing that we know we don't want to do but find ourselves repeatedly failing. The answer to that is today.

Thanks for listening to this edition of Living on the Edge with Chippingrum.

Living on the Edge is an international teaching and discipleship ministry, motivating Christians to live like Christians.

Well, we're in the middle of our series balancing life's demands.

We hope Chip's words have challenged you to refocus and re-prioritize your life on what matters most.

So if you've been impacted by this series so far, would you

take a minute after the message and share it with a friend? Now you can do that through

the Chippingram app or by downloading the free MP3s that you'll find at living on the edge.org

and be sure to share what you've been learning through the series.

Well with all that said let's join Chip now for the second half of his message how to keep first

things first. How can some of the most committed gifted people in all the body of

Christ both in Bible times and our times.

How in the world can you get off track?

And hopefully in your heart of hearts

you're saying, I don't ever want to get off of track

and I don't know how I could get off of track, but gosh, if Paul thinks he could get off the track and I don't know how I could get off track but gosh if Paul

thinks he could get off track and of all those people the nation of Israel got off

track and some people that were my heroes got off track I guess I could but how? I mean what happens you and I underestimate the power of our own sinful passions

Paul will pick up the story after reaching in and giving us his spiritual view of those children of Israel,

then he, in verse 6 through 11, he explains, now these things happened as examples are a type for us.
