Actions have consequences!
In the Book of Genesis we read how Joseph placed his loyalty above lust when he was tempted by Potiphar's wife. His primary concern was the preference of God when he said, "How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" (Genesis 39:9).
The lesson we learn from Joseph is surprisingly simple:
Do what pleases God.
Your co-workers want to include a trip to a gentleman's club on the evening agenda. What do you do? Do what pleases God.

Your date invites you to conclude the evening with drinks at his place. How should you reply? Do what pleases God.
You don't fix a struggling marriage with an affair, a drug problem with more drugs, debt with more debt.
You don't get out of a mess by making another one. You'll never go wrong doing what is right.
Just do what pleases God.
