While the men of Westside Family Fellowship met with God at Gavin Lake for the annual Men's Retreat, Ashley Chance asks: What Is Sin? Sin doesn’t happen by accident—it follows a pattern. From the very beginning in the Garden of Eden, we see how desires corrupted by deception lead to disobedience and sin.
But while sin leads to death, Christ leads to freedom. We are not without hope. Reflect on these questions: Am I staying alert or allowing my desires to be deceived?
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.  But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
