Few questions cause more inner panic than this one: “Have I committed the unpardonable sin?” We all know how often our mind replays old failures, reckless words, seasons of rebellion, or years of drifting from God. Scripture does warn us not to harden our hearts against the Holy Spirit, because the unpardonable sin is a sobering and very real danger. Yet the gospel also extends mercy bigger than our worst moments. The person who still aches over sin, who longs to be forgiven, has not been abandoned. Jesus welcomes broken, repentant people. His grace reaches the worst of us. Whoever turns to Him by faith will find that no sin runs deeper than His redeeming love!

Saved and Sent
It is a sad commentary indeed that so many church members today actually believe the church exists for them — to entertain them and their children every Sunday and to provide endless activities. The very fact that so many people believe this is proof that the church has lost its way and abandoned the mission given to it by Jesus. We have not been saved to huddle together happily in our well-lit room while the darkness outside grows ever darker. We have been saved and sent!
