Kelsi saw the sign that read, "Danger, keep off frozen ice!". She sat down and thought about how much fun it'd be to skate out there on that ice. Sure looked solid enough. At first, she barely put any weight at all on the seemingly-frozen pond. But, little by little she inched her way out. The cracking sound came from behind her, and instantaneously, she knew what had happened. Before she could scramble back to the shore, the ice shattered completely and Kelsi was submerged in frigid ice water.
Being from the south, we don't really identify much with ice-skating and frozen ponds. But, this story could apply to any dangerous situation. It applies even more to spiritual circumstances. Just as Kelsi saw the sign and understood its warning, so we are able to read the warnings in God's Word. But, for some reason, we just think we will never get far enough out to fall through the spiritul ice. Kelsi didn't fall through the ice with the first step away from the shore. And, neither will you wake up one morning addicted to drugs or selling your body. I know the analysis sounds extreme, but, girls, you must know that none of us are invincible. With each step away from the shore (our Savior), we are more likely to get far enough out that we will sink.
Kelsi should have never ignored the warning. You and I shouldn't ignore God's warnings either. If you're out on thin ice, turn around and go back to the shore before it's too late.

Wow this is such a good analysis! I must be careful that I don't ignore Gods warnings
