INTERNET SAFETY
Discussion
Most people have access to the internet and that could include criminals. As well as managing our own digital footprint, and protecting the reputation of others, we need to guard against becoming a victim of a crime.
Proverbs 14:15-16 puts it this way:

The prudent carefully consider their steps.
16 The wise are cautious and avoid danger;
fools plunge ahead with reckless confidence.
