Excellent post! Our God is a jealous God...Hi Susan,<br />Excellent post! Our God is a jealous God, and if we "honor" Him as one of many idols, we do not know Him at all.

This seems to remind me of one of Jesu...Dear Susan,<br />This seems to remind me of one of Jesus's parable of the four types of ground the seed from the sower falls upon (Matthew 13). Your blog touches on the rocky ground, the one who believes for a while but have no root, and after the sun scorches the sapling, it wilts and the believer falls away.<br />This may indeed be the difference between mere head belief and heart-changer. The famed atheist Richard Dawkins, for one, may fit this category, because despite his hostile opinions against organised religion, particularly Christian, he knows the Bible well,having grown up in a Christian-friendly environment. But all this being a heart issue, I, for one, cannot say of such individuals, "he is saved" or "he was never truly saved" or even, "he was saved once, but not any more."<br />It is a sad fact that I have known teenagers and older people who were committed to the church, but afterwards left and disappeared. If I meet them in the street, as I have, their stories are basically the same - a delusion with the faith coupled with a degree of hostility, even to the point of atheism.<br />I guess it is easy to point our finger at them and say that "They never truly believed in the first place." -without asking ourselves if we had failed as a church fellowship, and if so, where?<br />The issue is, we cannot be sure whether they "never believed in the first place" was true or not, being with the depths of their hearts, only God really knows.<br />A very thought provoking blog.
