Beware The Unbelieving Heart

Take care, brothers . . . that you do not fall away. He says, BEWARE – this is a flashing red-light warning us to be on guard against those things which creep into our hearts and lead us away from the living God because this verse is clear: the root of apostasy is an evil unbelieving heart. Consider some of the reasons former Christians give for their deconversion: They may say it was intellectual - that modern science disproves God, or that the Bible has been proven to contain error. Or they may say it was an experiential reason – something that led them to question the goodness of God – perhaps a personal loss or tragedy. Or they may say that all Christians are hypocrites or that Christianity just doesn't work. But ultimately, the root of every excuse we may give for turning away from Christ is unbelief in our hearts. What's in your heart this morning friends? Is there a seed of unbelief growing there that will lead you to fall away from the living God?
