19 Signs You Are Becoming A Part Of The Great Apostasy

From Pure Life Ministries – I have not personally reviewed their website, I do understand a bit about what they are about but don’t know whether I can support them whole-heartedly yet. I only say that as there are many that turn holiness into a work of the flesh or some “steps” that one can walk in order to be holy when in reality it is the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit in conjunction with the will of man that allows this to come to pass. Grace becomes effectual!

Regardless, I was very blessed by this exhortation. Please read and heed.

Anytime a person falls, gravity creates a force that drives the person to the ground. This momentum is not easily reversed.

So it is with the "Great Falling Away" predicted for the Last Days. Scripture gives every indication that many professing Christians will move in increasing velocity away from the things of God and toward the things of the world. In the days ahead, it will be increasingly difficult to swim against this powerful current.

The following list is provided to allow people to examine which direction their ongoing lifestyles are taking them:

1. Prayer is either nonexistent or mechanical.

2. You know the Word but you don't really live it.

3. Earnest thoughts about eternal matters no long grip your heart.

4. You can indulge in inward and outward sin without feeling devastated.

5. A longing for holiness is no longer a predominant passion of your life.

6. The pursuit of money and possessions are an important part of your life.

7. You can sing worship songs without really meaning what they express.

8. You can hear people treating eternal issues flippantly without becoming upset.
