KEY PRINCIPLES FROM THIS MESSAGE:

Adopted Sorrow – blog, 7/5/24
I don’t have massive sorrow in my own life, fortunately; however, I often feel the sorrow in this world as if it were my own. People are in a perpetual state of pain and suffering, most often because of their own poor decision-making. Even so, I’ve learned that the source of pain doesn’t matter as much as that it is real, it exists and has the power to put others in deep states of depression and despair.

Adopted Sorrow – blog, 7/5/24
My friend, life is short. Whatever sorrow we must endure, let’s endure it together. I won’t close my heart to you, and I ask that you don’t close yours to me. We need each other.

Not everyone is saved in this world. But everyone that ends up in Hell will be there justifiably.

To be an “apostate”, there are very specific conditions that must be met first.

Beware of those who claim to have found “better news” than the one Jesus preached! It’s very much like Satan to infiltrate a congregation through a human agent (someone who “looks” and “acts” the part) and then pull them away for the sake of pulling multiple congregants away in the end.

God’s grace very often spills over into the cups of unbelievers. If those blessings are primarily meant for His children, then we might call that “blessing by association.”
