Many in the religious world believe that a person cannot lose their salvation.  So there is no real reason to remain faithful to God.  But salvation is conditional. We can lose it!  Note the following:

When Life Gets Overwhelming

During our journey here on earth, times may become hard and discouraging. While these days are inevitable, we should not lose hope but look to God's word for hope. The Psalms in particular can lift us up when life becomes overwhelming.

Perseverance

Life is full of unexpected troubles—some painful, some embarrassing, some overwhelming. But God has not left us without help. Through humor, scripture, and real-world examples, we’ll explore how a positive attitude, daily focus, and trusting God can help us not just survive, but triumph over the problems life throws at us.

Scott Perkins

Last time, we talked about maintaining a positive attitude and living one day at a time as ways to triumph over life’s problems. Today, we’ll examine additional ways that God uses our struggles for good. It's important to recognize that sometimes, problems are within God's will for our lives. There is hardly a godly figure in Scripture who didn’t face difficulties. To triumph over our problems, we must learn to find the value in them.

Distractions are everywhere, but some are more dangerous than others. While a moment of distraction on the road can cost a life, spiritual distractions can cost a soul. This lesson explores the danger of misplaced priorities and how we can refocus our hearts on the one thing that truly matters—Jesus.

You and I will face difficult circumstances in our lives. Regardless of how hard we may try to avoid them, those trying rimes will eventually find us. (2 Timothy 3:1 - But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come) What should we do when that happens?

Bobby Stafford

As Christians, we often are frustrated when God doesn't answer our prayers according to our timeline. We think God is forgotten us when we go to him with our sincere requests or we hear nothing. No answer period no response whatsoever. At least not right away. So what do we do? We listened to the words of Psalm 13

Temptation – Each of us has been tempted before.  It can come in many forms and wear many faces.  But how do we keep from giving in to temptation?  A great example is that of Joseph in the Old Testament. Satan found that he could not overcome Joseph with troubles from the world, so he tried to entice him with sensual pleasures.  This story reveals four principles to keep in mind when we are tempted.

Revelation 2:10...Those were the words of Jesus as recorded by John, the last living Apostle of Christ on earth.  He was writing to a severely persecuted group of Christians in the city of Smyrna which in the first century was a city in Asia Minor.  If you were to look on the map and try and pinpoint Smyrna, you would want to look for Izmir in the country of Turkey just east of the gulf of Izmir.  It reaches about 40 miles inland and in the first century was ideally located as a distribution point for a large portion of the region. 

David Hersey

King David put descendants of Levi in change of the musical worship before the ark in Jerusalem and the tabernacle in Gibeon.  Later on it would also be in the temple.  (I Chronicles 6:16, 31-33a, 25:1, 7-8) The psalm we will focus on (Psalm 73) is one of David’s.  Note from I Chronicles 25:1 that he prophesied through the songs.  He was guided by the Spirit of God.  He was God’s spokesman.  (I Chronicles 25:3b)
