COULD YOU EVER

COULD YOU EVER?

 

          Some Christians(?) find it very easy to miss the worship assembly Sunday morning and evening, miss Wednesday night Bible study, never give consistently while others never miss a service or miss giving liberally to the work of the Lord. To those of you who are faithful in your service, here are some questions:

 

          Could you ever get use to not attending all the services of the church (Heb. 10:25)?

          Could you ever get use to not giving liberally (2 Cor. 8-9)?

          Could you ever get use to not supporting the work of the Lord (1 Cor. 15:58)?

 

          The answer to these questions is yes! But how? The devil is shrewd.  “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Pet.5:8). Haven’t we once known folks who grew up in the church or who were faithful to the kingdom and then over time drifted away from the body of Christ?

 

          The devil has a vast tool box of effective instruments to use. It may be work, sickness, family problems, ongoing health issues; prosperity that causes us to move away from God just a little at a time then all of sudden a person wakes up and discovers they have drifted far away from God. How do you come back?

 

1. Make a decision. The prodigal made a decision. “I will arise and go to my father…” (Lk. 15:18).

 

2. Draw neigh to God. “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded” (James 4:8).

 

3. Repent. “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent…” (Rev. 2:5).

 

 

 

          Better yet…don’t drift away, stay close.
