Chris.
We should not offer any part of ourselves to sin. If we realise this, it should help us immensely in our walk with the Lord day-by-day. This concerns our lives in every way: our domestic life; our social life; our Church life; our working or business life; our rest and relaxation life; all are included here. This is why it is so easy for a "Sunday only" Christian to fall down, or become bitter towards others who may have fallen. Let us follow the Word of God, it is so practical!
