En guard!
Whew! Check that list out! And where did it all begin? They lost an awareness of God- of a need for Him in their lives. It became pointless to know Him, to love what He loves. This whole passage makes me sad- and very prayerful for those I know that have traded the truth for a lie. I find myself on guard to always remember that I am in need of the saviour- every day. But I also think about how there really is the point that people can be turned over to their sins, to die. Jesus, for those in my thoughts right now, bring back to their minds your goodness. Man, I don't want anyone getting to that place fo being beyond help, you know? Whew. This passage always brings tears to my eyes.
