12 Perfecting Holiness In The Fear Of God – 2 Corinthians 6:11-&:1
AM Sermon, 10 August 2025 One of the great dangers for Christians—especially in a world filled with distractions, pressures, and competing loyalties—is the slow drift toward compromise. We rarely wake up one morning and say, “Today, I will walk away from wholehearted devotion to Christ.” No—the drift is subtle. Our hearts grow comfortable with sin in small doses. We keep certain relationships, habits, or ambitions that quietly pull us away from undivided fellowship with God. This was happening in Corinth.…
