This series is entitled; "Erosion". What causes erosion and what is its cost? Erosion is silent, slow, subtle and secret. The outcome of erosion is always sever, always fatal and always very humiliating. Pastor Ron has two messages on Erosion, entitled: "The Cost Of Erosion"; and "The Signs Of Erosion". (Note: The second message, entitled: "The Signs Of Erosion" begins after Prayer & Worship (about 39 minutes), but it's all great!
The eternal danger & deceitfulness of erosion is revealed in Hebrews below:
"Dear friends, if we deliberately
continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is
no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies. For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
Just think how much worse the
punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and
have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it
were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit
who brings God’s mercy to us. For we know the one who said, “I
will take revenge. I will pay them back.” He also said, “The Lord will
judge his own people.” It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God. - Hebrews 10:26-31 NLT
