The "Crocodile Hunter" Is Dead

In case you haven't heard, the "Crocodile Hunter", Steve Irwin has been killed while filming on the Great Barrier Reef. Ironically, he was filming a segment for a series titled "Ocean's Deadliest." He provided a lot of interesting entertainment as he took so many risks. I was sorry to hear of his death.

A great lesson in life should not be ignored here. If a man spends his whole life seeing how close he can come to dangerous things, instead of seeing how far away he can stay from them, he will eventually get hurt.

Spiritually speaking, many people fail to follow the many admonitions to "Flee". Consider these verses, "Flee these things"(1 Tim. 6:11), "Flee sexual immorality"(1 Cor. 6:18), "Flee idolatry"(1 Cor 10:14), "Flee youthful lusts."(2 Tim. 2:22). Getting as close as you can to sin, will eventually be deadly.
