Here's what I read this morning:
Perhaps some of the guiltiest individuals in our world are those who are decent in their conduct, but have enjoyed all the means of grace from their infancy, and yet have been insensible under them; who have constantly worshiped God, but have mocked Him with a solemn sound upon a thoughtless tongue; who have heard the words of eternal life, and trampled them under foot.Wow.
(Lectures on Female Scripture Characters, p. 187 by William Jay)
Yeah, that is really sobering. That's what Pastor Smith just preached on yesterday. His sermon was from John 15:18-25 and how all other sins pale in comparison to the sin of rejecting Christ, so kids growing up in the church are in an extremely dangerous position when they neglect their great privileges.
