I believe that as a Christian matures, he will never become a “super-Christian.” (In the “superman” sense of the word.) Some Christians think that because they have grown in the faith, they are entitled by Christian liberty to enjoy new freedoms and endure more trying situations. (They say, “I can watch this movie, because it is not technically sinful. As a mature Christian, I should analyze and screen through the worldviews presented in this questionable scene.”) But I believe that a Christian is never entitled to place himself in temptations way.
The Bible commands us to flee temptation! To stand in the way of temptation is to invite trouble. The wise Christian will not go as far as he could, lest he go farther than he should. He knows how strong his capacities to sin are, how wicked his heart is, and would avoid situations that invite compromise. “Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.” (1 Corinthians 10:12)
In the first of his 95 thesis, Martin Luther reminds us that the whole of the Christian life is to be one of repentance. A Christian must realize that the battle against sin is a life-long battle. How prideful we are to think that we are above a certain sin and that we can now endure worldliness!
