What Do We Do at the End of an Age?
Sermon by David C. GrabbeWe are living at the end of a collapsing political, economic and cultural age. The greatest danger for God's people in such times is not the upheaval itself, but instead spiritual drift, neglect, and hardening of the heart. Drawing heavily from the book of Hebrews, we learn that salvation is not merely a past event, but an ongoing relationship and participation in a covenant that can be neglected, but with horrible serious consequences, such as Israel, Zedekiah, and even Elijah experienced as Elijah experienced loss through unbelief and misaligned priorities. We, as God's called-out saints, must avoid distraction in lesser things, such as national crises, work, media, or normalized immorality, all of which can produced "spiritual sclerosis," making us insensitive to God's voice. Hebrews repeatedly emphasizes urgency: "today" we must refocus on Christ's supremacy, nurturing faith through obedience, study of God's word, faithful Sabbath observance, serving as a safeguard against hardening. In this unstable world, the only solution is to decisively prioritize our relationship with God above all else, because that relationship exclusively is salvation and the only secure footing at the end of an age.
