About this sermon

Adrian Rogers: Crossing God's Deadline (2037) Sermon Overview Scripture Reference: Proverbs 29:1 Proverbs 29:1 says, “He that being often reproved and hardeneth his neck shall suddenly be destroyed and that without remedy.” Can a man spiritually pass the point of no return? Can he be so willfully rebellious that God will give up on him? The answer is yes, and that’s a frightening thing. God is a God of infinite love, yes, but He’s also a God of wrath and judgment. There is a deadline, and if anyone crosses God’s deadline, his doom is sealed. We must listen to the warnings God graciously gives us before we reach the point of no return. When we have sinned against God, He convicts us through the Holy Spirit, physical illness, sorrows, good things and godly people. He uses them to guide and correct us. Yet, when we choose our rebellion over His conviction, we make it more and more difficult for ourselves to ever turn back to God. When we’ve hardened our necks (as stated in Proverbs 29:1), there is bound to come sudden destruction; not only in your mind, with strong delusions, but in your spirit as well. You will find that the Holy Spirit of God no longer speaks to you and God no longer draws you in. We all think we have more time to get right with God, but sometimes, this isn’t the case. Once your heart no longer beats, your destiny is settled, and there is no second chance. God convicts because He loves you so much and He wants to save you. His reproof is rooted in love. If you continue to reject it, destruction will follow. There is good news, though. Anybody who wants to be saved can be. The man who crosses the deadline has no desire to be saved. But if you have a desire to be saved, the Holy Spirit of God is working in you, it’s not too late. Apply it to your life Have you listened to God’s conviction or have you remained stubborn in your rebellion? You must be receptive to God’s loving correction if you want a relationship with Him. Pray today, and ask the Lord if there is anything in your life that is not pleasing to Him. Ask for His forgiveness today. - If you would like more information, please visit our website: http://www.lwf.org/ Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/lwfministries Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lwfministries/ Like on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lwfministries Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/lwfministries Write to us: Love Worth Finding Ministries P.O.
