Better Decisions, Fewer Regrets | Week 5
The Maturity Question
It's human nature to snuggle up to the edge of irresponsibility or disaster and stay there as long as possible. But instead of wondering how close we can get before crossing the line, we need to ask ourselves perhaps the most important question we can ever ask.
Discussion Questions
“Our excuses escort us to the threshold of regret and abandon us there with little margin for error.” Does this statement ring true for you? Can you think of an example?

The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.– Proverbs 27:12
