These days it’s pretty common for folks to get flu shots around this time of year. Doctors say by giving you a small amount of the flu bug your body can build up immunities to the real thing. I think this thesis applies to Christianity, too! Have you ever seen folks who spent their whole lives in church and still don’t seem to get it? I wonder if by hanging around the church without really paying attention they’ve slowly been inoculated against the truth.
“We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. Or if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation. This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.” Hebrews 2:1-4
