We live adventurous lives. We have our bucket list. We want to go to the limits of trying the various pursuits that come out way. In doing so, we sometimes get to the very edges of the frayed fabrics of our faith and the temptations of satan. Think about the lyrics of this old spiritual hymn.
Drifting Too Far From the ShoreBy Charles W. Moody.
Out on the perilous deep, Where dangers silently creep, And storms so violently sweep, You are drifting too far from the shore.
Drifting too far from the shore, You are drifting too far from the shore (peaceful shore), Come to Jesus today, let him show you the way, You are drifting too far from the shore.
Today the tempest rolls high, And the clouds overshadow the sky, Sure death is hovering nigh, You are drifting too far from the shore.
Why meet a terrible fate, Mercies abundantly wait, Turn back before it’s too late, You are drifting too far from the shore.
Drifting too far from the shore, You are drifting too far from the shore (peaceful shore), Come to Jesus today, let him show you the way, You are drifting too far from the shore.
The Word teaches us that we need Jesus. We need fellowship with others of faith.
In 1 John 1:5-7: This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
Stay close to the Savior!
