Proverbs 1:10
"My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them."
Solomon's word of caution seems oversimplified at first glance. "Don't give in". Period. There is no technique offered, no psychological explanation or cousel on how to not give in--just a simple admonition to resist. I tend to overcomplicate things and I know I am not alone. In a world where rationalization rules and comprimise is explained away as commonplace, it refreshes me to remember the wisdom of the scriptures teaches us not how to say no, but beckons us to practice what we already know how to do.

Maybe that's why the Bible is a relatively short book for all that it covers. Good observaton!
