"Slip Sliding Away" [Sea 3 / Ep 2]

from Deeper In The Word · host Reverend Adrian L Robinson II

As followers of Christ, we ALL can become subject to BACKSLIDING….that is, to reverting to sin or wrongdoing or lapsing back into previous undesirable patterns of behavior.  Each of us has to battle daily with putting our flesh into submission – that is, dying to self to ensure that we do what GOD wants of us and not whatever WE WANT to do.  Truly, the follower of Christ can either be moving forward in our walk with Him (progressing), or falling backwards (regressing).  But how do we KNOW if we’re falling away from the Lord?  Are there any warning signs which will tip us off that we might be “slip sliding away”?  And does the bible provide any EXAMPLES of people who backslid in Christ but were able to get back to a place of being on fire for Him? Join RevRob this episode as we explore this provocative topic, with areas of discussion which include comparisons to drug addicts, how your old friends can be your worst enemies, how even a certain beloved Apostle once backslid so bad that it ALMOST destroyed him, how the story of a former Old Testament king should serve as a cautionary tale for us about how backsliding can destroy US, and the indications we need to be aware of that serve as the “writing on the wall” that WE might be slip slidin’ away from the Lord!
