"Four Warnings for Your Twenties"

There is a good article at Desiring God by Marshall Segal entitled "Four Warnings for Your Twenties." He looks at 1 Corinthians 10:7-14 and notes what 20 somethings should learn from Israel's experiences in the Old Testament.

He writes,

"The same temptations that were murdering the believers under Moses are waging a spiritual war against believers today: entertainment, sexual immorality, impatience, and contentment. Paul finishes the paragraph by saying, “Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come” (1 Corinthians 10:11)."

Here are the four main headings of temptation he goes on to address from Israel's history:

1. Do you distract yourself with entertainment?
2. Are you experimenting with sexual sin?
3. Do you refuse to wait?
4. Are you always unhappy?

Take some time to read the article and learn from Israel.
