4. Does fighting this battle include engaging in debates or 'picking fights' with non believers who disagree with us? Why or why not?

5. Read 1 Peter 2:16 and Galatians 5:13. How do these scriptures speak against our tendency to follow the crowd?

6. What are some practical ways we can strive to make following Jesus more appealing than sin? How can we grow to hate sin and love Jesus?
