How does the old television ad go that warns against drunk driving? “Friends don’t let friends…”
That came to mind as I read Hebrews 3.12-14 this morning… Friends don’t just encourage one another, they also warn each other when it’s appropriate! They warn each other about the danger of having “unbelieving hearts that turn them away from the living God”… they warn each other about being deceived by sin and developing “hardness of heart”… Sinister evil! Subtle heart drifting! The danger of developing spiritual callouses!
Here it is right out of Hebrews: “Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God. You must warn each other every day, while it is still ‘today,’ so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God. For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ!” (Hebrews 3:12-14 NLT)
