Thanks for Coming!
Welcome to Calvary Bible Wesleyan Church
Let's join together to be the church that makes a difference.
II Timothy 4:10 “For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed…”
Forsaken, Loved, Departed. These are three troubling words in this verse. Three tragic words.
Forsaken. Demas we presume had been sold out for God in the early church. He appears to be useful and committed. It seems he is a close associate of Paul himself. Now Paul tells us his “leader” heart. He feels forsaken because he truly was. Someone he had set his love and hope upon to further the gospel has ended his career as assistant. I have seen this happen, and felt this same sting. Forsaken.
Loved. The answer to the departure of Demas is now known. It is his love for the world. Oh! How many have we seen follow in the footsteps of Demas! How tragic the stories that come to mind. How sneaky was Satan to steal away a good and useful man. It happens usually gradually. People just don’t
wake up one morning and decide to take the world over Jesus. You must be
aware of the tell tale warning signs that the world is getting a hold on you.
Don’t let yourself fall into this sin.
Departed. He is gone, just gone. It seems with no warning. He was here and now he is gone. Gone from Jesus. Gone to answer the call of the world. I wonder if he found peace there.
I dare say he didn’t and neither will you any where from Jesus is never a happy ending.
