Almost, but not Quite

A devotional study about not quite accepting a call of conviction upon the heart.  We cannot afford to play games when the Holy Spirit makes an appeal to us through any messenger or mechanism.Acts 26:28-29 KJVThen Agrippa said unto Paul, “Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.”  And Paul said, “I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.”---During many of our podcasts, you will hear us make reference to “The Key Principles of Effective Bible Study,”  a document which outlines core concepts shown in the scriptures that will help you better understand many Biblical themes and doctrines.  We have done a whole podcast series on these principles which  can be found here.Lastly, we recommend that you check out https://TrueWisdom.buzzsprout.com for additional Bible Study podcasts, covering many different Bible topics, and done in a slightly different format from the podcasts on this channel.We pray that all of these resources will be very helpful to you in your Bible Studies.If you have any questions or comments, please send them to: [email protected] Saved...There are some who seem to be always seeking for the heavenly pearl. But they do not make an entire surrender of their wrong habits. They do not die to self that Christ may live in them. Therefore they do not find the precious pearl. They have not overcome unholy ambition and their love for worldly attractions. They do not take up the cross and follow Christ in the path of self-denial and sacrifice. Almost Christians, yet not fully Christians, they seem near the kingdom of heaven, but they cannot enter there. Almost but not wholly saved, means to be not almost but wholly lost. {COL 118.1}https://egwwritings.org/read?panels=p15.475&index=0Related Podcasts:Search Me O GodYe Must Be Born AgainThe Soul that SinnethThe Final Reward of the WickedFully Persuaded in his Own MindWhat Must I Do to be Saved?
