What Causes Apostasy And Who Is At Risk

OK so Apostasy is a word I have always disliked and do you want to know why? Because 1) I didn’t have a reply when someone threw it out to describe someone that they claimed that they knew, who had fallen into the Apostasy mess, and 2) because I didn’t actually know what it meant. And but I didn’t have enough interest in what it meant because it well didn’t interest me. It sounds like an ugly word right, and who wants to look up an ugly word. Ha, but so in my retirement I thought, being as difficult as it has been, difficult because I am a doer and in my first days being retired, I have found I should also be a waiter, no not like at a restaurant but, to be resting with the Lord and waiting for further instruction as to what this next season looks like, and because I am not good at this it is difficult.

Back to “I thought”, I thought I should get back to the basics of reading the bible for me and not so much to develop my next message. What a concept right? Well being a doer can distract you from Him and your relationship with God, not that this has happened, but I am concerned that it could happen to me, so I will do what I need to do to keep it happening by learning to be a waiter.

So today I started reading out of the book of Isaiah and came across his statement about the book of Jasper round about in Is 28:21 which stated

Is 28:21 - For the Lord will rise up as at Mount Perazim,
He will be angry as in the Valley of Gibeon—
That He may do His work, His awesome work,
And bring to pass His act, His unusual act.

So but because I saw butterflies in that I got distracted with the statement, “unusual act”, I chased the referenced scripture which led me to read Joshua 10:10, 12 so I looked that up thinking I could find something related to an unusual act.
