When Beauty Turns To Ashes
The devil would rather steal a precious Believer and drag them back into sin than anyone else. He sees the destruction of a Saint as a trophy that he can brag to all of hell about. The Apostle Peter spoke with unmistakable language in his great Epistle. "For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, they are entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it to turn from the holy commandments delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, the dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow(hog) that was washed to her wallowing in the mire." (II Peter 2:20-22) Our church world is tolerating every form of sin while Satan is dragging great numbers of our sweetest and purest back into the trash of this unclean world. Certainly there has never been a day worse for falling away from the faith. God’s Holy word foretold of the falling away just before the Lord returns. Comments are welcome at jrc@pawcreek.org
