Maybe you can think of someone who had a significant connection with the church, even claimed to be a Christian, and then turned away from it! Our hearts ache when we see something like that happen, but was that person ever a Christian? Today on Focal Point, we encounter a sobering passage in Hebrews six which confronts the sin of apostasy. Is the “falling away” spoken of here referring to a stumbling in the Christian life, or is it more along the lines of a serious renouncing of the truth and indulgence in sin? A good number in the church have reached the wrong conclusions after studying this passage. So we’d do well to carefully look at it now with Pastor Mike Fabarez.
There are many in our world that will say the Bible is made up; it's just a bunch of stories with no historical foundation. Why should anyone believe any of it? But when we look at the archaeological evidence from the ancient Holy Lands, we find that their world confirms the truths of the Bible...it continually proves the Bible to be true. Be sure to request the book The Essential Archaeological Guide to the Bible Lands with your generous donation this month.
