Don't become Dull!

Hebrews 5: 11

Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

Sometimes, we’re afraid of offering a strict warning to those who are wayward.

We live a day, similar to that of Noah, where no one seems to be afraid of God at all anymore.

Even those unsaved among us, know that the judgment of God is upon us, and yet they don’t make any changes.

It comes down to this, you cannot love someone you don’t respect or revere.

If you saw someone sinking in quick sand, would you reach out and help them?

And yet, that’s what’s happening by the boat load today, and people just walk right on by, like nothing in the world is wrong.

Make no mistake about it, something is gravely wrong!

Heaven forbid we’d offer corrective action to someone headed for destruction.

In today’s scripture text, it can be best summarized this way;

“Hearers become dull of hearing, but they never used to be that way.”

As much as the Bible is a letter of love to the world, it is also a strict warning.

We much prefer though, the label given as… “love”.

The Bible says that fear of the Lord, is the beginning of wisdom (Prov. 9: 10)

It might the best thing in the world to do to the friend you know, or even your wayward child, to offer them a fearful, attentive warning.

Actually, it just might be, the most loving and wise thing you’ve ever done…
