Apostates who think they are saved and sin&mdash;and as they sin they become the worst, because they have left the truth and they are now unbridled&mdash;they run greedily after the error of Balaam; they run and rush in the direction of error. Are you truly born again?&mdash;Is there within you that which is truly acceptable to God? Don&#8217;t be like Cain who brought a great offering, but his heart was rotten.<\/li>\n<li>Apostasy is not confined to preachers: Cain was a farmer; Balaam was a prophet; Korah was a prince. Are you an apostate? Are you finding ways in which you once held the truth, and you&#8217;re letting it go? Are you finding ways in which you&#8217;re rejecting God&#8217;s authority? Are you struggling with authority somewhere, or are you taking too much authority upon yourself?: You&#8217;re not following the example of Michael; you&#8217;re wanting to run the show, when God is the one who does the rebuking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Download Recording<\/h3>\n<p>For <a href=\"https:\/\/hanoverbaptistchurch.dreamhosters.com\/audio\/msg20100321hi.mp3\" rel=\"external\">Broadband<\/a> Connection (Approx. 22 MB)<\/p>\n<p>For <a href=\"https:\/\/hanoverbaptistchurch.dreamhosters.com\/audio\/msg20100321lo.mp3\" rel=\"external\">Dial-Up<\/a> Connection (Approx. 2.7 MB)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outline\u2014Jude 8\u201311 Defiled dreamers (v.&nbsp;8) Disputing with the devil (v.&nbsp;9) Destruction declared (v.&nbsp;10) Destiny described (v.&nbsp;11) Related Quote: &quot;The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hanoverbaptistchurch.dreamhosters.com\/messages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hanoverbaptistchurch.dreamhosters.com\/messages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hanoverbaptistchurch.dreamhosters.com\/messages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hanoverbaptistchurch.dreamhosters.com\/messages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hanoverbaptistchurch.dreamhosters.com\/messages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hanoverbaptistchurch.dreamhosters.com\/messages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hanoverbaptistchurch.dreamhosters.com\/messages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hanoverbaptistchurch.dreamhosters.com\/messages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hanoverbaptistchurch.dreamhosters.com\/messages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
