The Drift

Drift doesn’t happen overnight—it starts small, almost unnoticeable, and before we know it, we can find ourselves far from God. The good news is that He has given us the anchor we need to stay steady and strong in Him. Key Points from this message: Drift Begins with Neglect — We don’t just wake up and decide to abandon God. Neglect is a seed, and drift is the fruit that grows from it (Hebrews 2:3). Drift is Deceptive and Subtle — Sin rarely comes with flashing lights. Satan works to distort our vision of God, like a blindfold blocking light (Proverbs 14:12; 2 Corinthians 4:3-4). Sin will always take you further than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay. Drift Demands Constant Course Correction — Every day we need to examine our hearts and adjust. Course correction isn’t shameful—it’s necessary (Lamentations 3:40). Staying Anchored Keeps Us from Drifting — We must develop spiritual habits that keep us grounded and anchored in Christ (Hebrews 10:19). Drift may be subtle, but it’s not unstoppable. When we stay anchored in Jesus, we can stand firm no matter what comes our way.
