"Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away."
(Heb. 2:1)
"To young men were fishing above a low dam on a river near their hometown. As they were
concentrating on catching fish, they were unaware that they had drifted until they were not far
from the water flowing over the dam. When they realized their situation, the current near the dam
had become too powerful for them to keep their boat from going over. Below the dam the water
was dashing with strong force over great boulders and through crevices in the rocks. Caught by
the swirling waters under the rocks, they never came to the surface. After days of relentless
searching, the divers finally found one body, and then, two or three days later, the other. It was a
sad occasion when these two young men lost their lives in the bloom of youth. It was also a sad
occasion -- one tempered with hope and thanksgiving -- when I preached the funeral of one of
them, the one whom I had baptized only a week before." (By Billy Norris, from Gospel Guide)
Let us take heed lest we be slowly drifting away from God.
