Rip Currents

Rip currents.  They can pull you under… and threaten your life.

Undetectable by the inexperienced swimmer…the undercurrent can sweep you out and hold you in its grip.

And there are rip currents in life – inordinate affections…undisciplined living…isolationism…and many other compromising practices.

Judas Iscariot got caught in the rip current of greed.  It was love for the world that caught hold of Demos.  It was disunity that crippled the Corinthian church.

It begins with curiosity…followed by acquiescence…and then comes obsession…and finally death. 

It might start as a casual attraction…then a flirtatious attitude…and finally a tragic moral failure.

Avoid the rip currents.  They can cause death.
