I
suspect that very few Christians make a conscious effort to depart from God.
Some do no doubt get their feelings hurt over some issue or something in their
life and sadly make a choice to abandon their faith, but I would think that is
not the normal departure. No, I believe that for most people it is an
unconscious and slow process of one compromise after the other until we
(hopefully) realize we have lost the grip in our faith…
We…
must be careful to review our walk with the Lord and be on guard for any signs
of slipping. The Lord gives each of us free will and free choice. It is our responsibility
to ground ourselves in the Word of God and therefore make decisions that
bolster our faith. When we allow "only a little leaven" we find that
very soon the whole batch of dough is corrupted. A little wander here and
little drift there and soon we find ourselves completely off course. Take note
of the "things" that make a Christian strong and practice them over
and over.
