Spiritual Drift: Sermon Notes 4/7/13

These are sermon notes from my husband's sermon today...I always enjoy hearing him preach:

Pastor Adam Johnson : Bauman Rd. Missionary Baptist Church : 4/7/13

Things that cause us to drift:

 1. Time
       A) We can grow weary of good (Galatians 6:9)
       B) We can lose the ferver of our devotion (Revelation 2:4)
       C) We can rest on past laurels and quit pressing forward (Phillipians 3:13-14)

2. Familiarity Breeds Contempt
     A) As we are familiar to the truth, it can seem common place to us
     B) We may lose our sense of novelty about it
     C) We may take it for granted
     D) We can stand in danger of losing our first love

3. Society
     A) Modern opinions easily seduce us (I Cor. 15:33)
     B) Being bombarded by secular humanism, false religions, and fake Christianity can cause us to waver
     C) These can move us away from the simplicity in Christ (II Cor. 11:2-3)

4. The Flesh
     A) Our warfare is not without, but also within (I Peter 2:11)
     B) Our flesh is constantly waging war with our souls (Galatians 5:16-17)

So, How do we keep from drifting?
TRUST in the LORD and His provision!
John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
