The risk of playing with sin—some "small" thing that seems to only give pleasure without hurting anyone—is something that this caution relates to much more. A minor sin can turn into a horrible tragedy that "brings forth death" (Jas. 1:15) if it is fed, allowed to grow, and taken pride in. This truth was used in the context of sexual purity by the Proverbs author. Don't be seduced by her attractiveness, Solomon advised (6:25).
As followers of Jesus Christ, we are obligated to put an immediate stop to any evil that arises in our hearts by admitting it to the Lord and requesting His assistance in overcoming it. Playing with a pet sin is similar to playing with a dangerous animal. It will eventually turn against us.
The most lethal sins sneak up on us rather than charging at us. We cannot afford to experiment with fire or provoke a snake's bite; we cannot afford to believe that immorality offers any genuine pleasure.
