Blocking the Worm

I played an online word game with a man who, after only one game started a chat and began referring to me as, “My dear…, my queen….” At first, I thought he was simply flamboyant and overly dramatic, but in game two he wrote, “My darling…” I have no doubt he was trying to endear himself to some lonely, vulnerable woman and I blocked him from my game play. Paul warned us not to have anything to do with those who have a form of godliness, “They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak–willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth” (2 Tim 3:6 NIV).
