Today’s post was inspired by a recent sermon message from Dr. Charles Stanley, In Touch Ministries, <InTouch.org> entitled: “A Warning Against Drifting”.
~~~Quietly~~~~~
~~Slowly~~~~~
~~~~Unintentionally~~~
~~~Effortlessly~~~
~~~~Drifting~~~~~
Dulls our sensitivity
Ruins relationships
Is undisciplined
From God leads to destruction
Tangles your life line
Is mindless
Never gets you to your destination
Goes only
Downstream~~~developing a hardening toward God
Only God’s people can stop it by putting their anchor down
Wrecks our physical body and relationships
Neglects God’s guidance
Summarizes God’s word in Hebrews Chapter 2
Things begin to change
Results in regret
Effects every facet of our lives dangerously
Away from God
Many succumb to its currents of immorality, financial debt, political confusion, apathy and liberal ideology
Hebrews 2:1-4 (NIV)
“We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we’ve heard, so that we do not drift away. For since the message spoken through angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.”
