NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
Hebrews 6:17-19

I think we are more aware today than we have ever been that we are living indeed

Mother’s Day I will be addressing the tragic massacre in Colorado and some of the
factors that may be in place.
I bring that up this morning to say to you that the matter of safety is important in
every area of life. It is important in the physical area. It is important to the life of our
families and our young people. It is also important in the spiritual arena as well. People
need to know that they are spiritually safe, that they are spiritually secure. When
Christians begin to doubt their salvation and find themselves locked up in the dungeon of
Doubting Castle then they become very unsure and they feel a sense of danger. They
wonder if their eternity is indeed secure. Of course, reversing the matter for a moment,
one of the reasons that people do get themselves into Doubting Castle is t ...
