Apostates From the Faith–Their Danger<\/p>\n
"These are spots in your feasts" (Jdg_1:12).<\/p>\n
The word translated "spots," is "spilades," "sunken rocks." The figure is most suggestive. Sunken rocks are a menace. They are sunken rocks because they are deep down in the mud of their denials; they are sunken rocks because they are hiding under the cover of a pure orthodoxy.<\/p>\n
"They are sunken rocks in your feasts of love, when they feast with you." What a gracious warning God has given us in these words! Let us open our eyes to our danger.<\/p>\n
Let the angels weep! "Reprobates concerning the faith," sitting at feast with the faithful!<\/p>\n
Let the heavens marvel! Those who "have departed from the faith" sitting at food with those "nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine."<\/p>\n
Let the saints tremble! Those who have "wandered away from the faith" sitting at the table with those who "fight the good fight of faith".<\/p>\n
Shall we feast with them? Shall the "wisdom that cometh down from above" feast with "the wisdom of this world"; the wisdom which crucified the Lord of Glory?<\/p>\n
Shall those who believe that "without shedding of blood is no remission" fellowship with the so-called "respectable intellect" that partakes of the Lord’s Supper, but denies the efficacy of the Cross?<\/p>\n
Shall those who believe that "without shedding of blood is no remission" fraternize with the "advanced thinker" of this world who keeps Easter, but denies the resurrection?<\/p>\n
These men are "sunken rocks," hidden rocks, danger points in our "feasts." Rocks where hundreds "concerning faith have made shipwreck;" rocks where multitudes have "departed from the faith" have "turned aside unto Satan."<\/p>\n
Let "good ministers of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine;" let those who "refuse profane and old wives’ fables;" let those who would avoid "profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so-called," cease to feast, to fellowship and to fraternize with those who are "hidden rocks in their feasts of love."<\/p>\n
Welcome to your feasts of love the scholarship that sits at the feet of the Lord Jesus and learns of Him; but wisely avoid the scholarship that seeks to instruct the Almighty.<\/p>\n
