"Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation...?" (Heb. 2:1-3)

During the night of July 31, 1976, a 19-foot wall of water roared through the mountain-rimmed canyon linking Estes Park and Loveland, Colorado. Earlier in the day, campers had walked along the babbling brook which flowed through the canyon. But mountain thunderstorms turned it into a raging killer which took 129 lives. One couple survived because the husband saw the danger of the rapidly rising waters in the narrow canyon. Before scaling the canyon walls to safety, the man tried to warn others. However, very few people listened to his warning.

How about you? Are you heeding God's warnings? Let us give diligent heed to the things which we have heard lest we drift away.
