One day I was watching the evening news on TV, and I saw that the newscaster just couldn't wait to get to the next sensational story to stir up the flesh of man to evil.
Later I saw this scripture and set myself to do this scripture, avoiding the evil of the newscast and of other people who would stir me up to evil.
Proverbs 1
10 If sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
After that, I kept this scripture before me day and night so I could evaluate those persons who were stirring me up wrongly and could avoid such people.
The apostle Paul says:
2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

This is critical: Pray, asking God for wisdom in that which you are thinking of doing.
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
***
I Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
