    Several years ago a scary thing happened to two young beach goers. I read this in the newspaper. Two young ladies were at the beach, I think Pensacola beach, enjoying a summer vacation and enjoying the water. They got into a raft to relax and sun bath. While floating on the raft they did not pay ...read more

    Faith is an active process and something we must work at. When we become lazy we begin to drift and can end up in waters we dont want to be in.

    We who follow Christ are to exhibit a godly response to doctrinal drift in these later days.

    “The Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be ...read more

    If we have no urgency, no vigilance, no time for quite listening or fixing our eyes on Jesus. The result will not be standing still, but drifting away. The Scripture do not provide for standing still

    For those not familiar with an Anglican Service; four Scriptures are read prior to the Message. The appointed passages for today are Job 1:1 & Job 2:1-10; Psalm 26; Hebrews 1:1-4 & Hebrews 2:1-12; and Mark 10:2-16. An Eastern Proverb states.....Negligence produces ..... a lot ....of dirt.

    Let’s talk about how we can drift away and then talk about how we can stay anchored (not drift away) in our faith (Material adapted from Craig Groeschel's book, "Weird", Chapter 13 called "Get My Drift")

    Harvard University began as a school to equip pastors and ministers in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. St. Luke’s Medical Center was also founded by Christian Missionaries in the Philippines to help poor people. Today, do you think they slowly drifted away from their founding purpose?

    Paul had a serious illness. He did not mention what it was. He prayed for healing, but God decided not to heal him. So, what did he do? Did he get upset, resentful, or discouraged? No! Through him, we must learn these important lessons on gradual healing.

    Jonah walked away from God and landed everyone aboard the ship he travelled in big trouble. Backsliding is a gradual process, but if we repent and turn back to the Lord we can be reconciled and restored to our first love.

    We read in Jonah 1:10-12, Then the men were terrified. They knew that he was running away from the LORD, because he had told them. They asked Jonah, "Why have you done this?" The storm was getting worse. So they asked Jonah, "What should we do with you to calm the sea?" He told ...read more

    Today we seem to expect exemption from suffering and test. There is a false teaching that if we are really close to God we will not be tested. Ask Abraham, Job, David, Joseph and Jesus about seasons of testing?

    This is a warning, not from a God who wants to find fault, but from a God who has forgiven fault and desires to encourage and purify.

    “For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?
