-- Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Morning and Evening
If you had a fuse dangling off of you connected to an explosive on your back, you would be diligent to avoid open flames. But if you denied its existence or ignored its presence, it wouldn't be long before you'd yourself blown to pieces.
Jesus warned us to take heed lest we enter into temptation and one surefire way to avoid opening a particular door is to distance yourself from it. You are less likely to eat a forbidden snack if it isn't already in your pantry. You're less likely to catch hell if you don't go out looking for it.
