I’m deeply saddened to see professing Christians revise or reject Christianity. Well-known author, speaker, and pastor Josh Harris is a recent example.
We should pray for these people, but their choices should never weaken our faith.
People change, but God and His Word never change.
Genuine believers stand firm because:
1. Jesus always has been and always will be worthy of our love.
“Jesus answered him, 'If anyone loves me, he will keep my word.'” John 14:23
2. The gospel always has been and always will be worthy of our confidence.
“I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God…” Romans 1:16
3. God warns us of this problem.
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith…” 1 Timothy 4:1
Our culture celebrates sins that damage people’s souls.
Scripture reveals and celebrates forgiveness, restoration, and eternal life.
Stand firm, dear Christians.

I am in shock. I have my son reading his book, which is very biblically based. Since,Joshua has this sudden change of mind, he seems so eager to stop the books from being sold, it goes to show the book is still something many Christians should read and apply. The devil is a liar, and he wants to take down as many people as he can,especially the youth, with his deceiving lies, tricks and schemes.I read the article on CBN and all he stated, this is him falling away.Lord, have mercy on him, may he repent and come back to You, oh God.

ReplyDeleteWe hard pressed now more than ever to stand strong and keep the faith!
