Four dynamics will mark “Christians” who are putting their souls at risk in the end-times:
1. Prayerlessness (no development of private and corporate prayer as a life-style.)
2. Crosslessness (not allowing the Holy Spirit to apply of the Word of God to one’s life; bringing self to death and Jesus to the forefront of our lives.)
3. Lovelessness (enticed and exhilarated by the flurry of sensory temptations of the hour, there is no primary pursuit of first-commandment love for Jesus.)
4. Abrogation of the Sermon on the Mount lifestyle (a life that gives itself permission to operate independently of the 55 admonitions of Matthew 5, 6 & 7, resulting in a life of lawlessness and meager faith.)
If we aim at cultivating all four of these dynamics, we will preserve our soul and help other’s preserve their’s as well.
“But we are not among those who shrink back and thus perish, but are among those who have faith and preserve their souls.” (Hebrews 10:39)
