Hebrews 2:1 IF WE ASKED THE WRITER OF HEBREWS WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO TO NOT DRIFT AWAY, HE WOULD SAY PAY ATTENTION. PRINCIPLE: WHAT YOU AND I FOCUS ON WE DRIFT TOWARD. Whatever you focus your attention on eventually you focus your affection on and what gets your affection ultimately determines your direction. SAY IT WITH ME: ATTENTION AFFECTION DIRECTION PRACTICAL WAYS TO PAY ATTENTION YOU NEED TO ESTABLISH SOME REFERENCE POINTS.
Drifting starts with a thought, then an attitude, then it consumes your behavior. Examples of reference points: 1. Devotional time 2. Prayer life 3. Church attendance 4. Giving record 5. Relationship with spouse 6. Physical/spiritual exercise YOU NEED TO ESTABLISH A REFEREE.
We need someone to blow the whistle and say, Youre out of bounds. Drifting always starts out privately and almost always ends up public. YOU MUST PRAY FOR DISCERNMENT.
