Exodus 23:2 You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert justice.
Following the crowd always seems to be the easy option, but when you find out that you all get into trouble anyway, you wonder why!
The options are quite simple really – to do good or to do evil. We like to describe all manner of levels of good and evil but the fact remains, it is good or evil!
Whether it starts with a bit of gossip or joining in to get someone else into trouble just because, the other road is not all it is advertised to be.
God wants us to recognise our failings and to turn away from them. Yes we do need His help. But we can do it!
