Bewared of the Evil Heart of Unbelief - Believe Today - Part 2

Well if you would take your Bible turn back to Hebrews chapter 3. We are going to finish up this portion of Scripture this morning verses 7 to 19. Now last week we moved away from verses 1 to 6 and we got started in verses 7 to 19. Last week I said that we moved from the argument that Jesus was and He is greater than Moses. And then we moved into the great warning to beware of the evil of the unbelieving heart. And as we got into these verses we saw how the author was writing this Jewish congregation to warn them to be watchful and to be discerning. So as to make sure that they did not have or hold on to an evil unbelieving heart.

And within this warning He was calling them to savingly believe in Jesus today. Today. So as to attain that good, that believing heart. And then He warned them that if they did not savingly believe they would certainly fall away from the living God which of course is apostasy. And I titled these verses and what we are studying here, "Beware of the evil heart of unbelief. Believe today." Last week was a part 1 and this morning will be a part 2. Now before we continue in our verses I want to do three things here. This is what we would call part of the introduction.

First I want us to remember that the author was writing to this Jewish congregation and within this congregation there were some who truly believed in Jesus as their Messiah. But there were some who did not savingly believe. And He was writing them and He was warning them to be watchful, to be discerning that they did not possess an evil unbelieving heart that would surely lead them to fall away from the true and the living God back to Judaism which was in His apostasy. So this was a much needed warning. They needed it. This was a serious, a real threat within their congregation.

And then second I want us to remember that the author used their Old Testament forefathers to illustrate what an evil unbelieving heart looked like and the consequences of holding on to that unbelieving heart. So the author here was working very hard in this much needed warning and those receiving this letter they had no excuse, none whatsoever. In this letter they had the author's clear and strong warning and an example that they knew well. So there was no excuse for those in this church. But then third I want us to quickly glance back over what we looked at last week and there's some more insights that I want to offer.

There's some more understanding that we need here. We just need to go a little deeper. But first last week we studied the example of the unbelieving heart in verses 7 to 11. Now this is simple. Here the author was illustrating what the evil unbelieving heart looked like from their Jewish forefathers and he was showing them the ramifications that their forefathers suffered for holding on to this evil unbelieving heart. And we must see their sin and the greatness of their sin. Those Jews whom God had delivered out of Egyptian slavery and to whom God had revealed Himself personally, wonderfully, even miraculously.

Those Jews they chose to constantly go astray in their hearts. They chose to constantly go into sin in their thoughts, in their emotions, and by their very wills. And that is because that is who they were and who they determined to be all along. And although God had made Himself His ways and His plans known to them, they did not know God nor know God's ways. And that was because they willfully neglected and rejected God's ways, God's plans for them, and ultimately and finally, they willfully neglected and rejected God Himself. And why did all of these things take place in the Jews here? Who had God right in front of them?

Why did this take place? It was because of their evil unbelieving hearts. They did all that they did because they willfully held onto their unbelieving hearts. And what were the ramifications? God literally swore an oath out of His great anger and wrath. Now when we think about God being wrathful and angry, He did not sin like a man would sin in that anger and wrath. But God swore an oath out of His great anger and wrath, and He swore that none of those Jews who tested Him repeatedly and who had rejected Him would ever enter spiritual rest in Him. Nor would they enter the physical and spiritual rest of the Promised Land. And they did not.

And scholars tell us it was about 600,000 of them or more that died in the wilderness. Then next we studied the warning to be watchful out of verse 12. Now this is simple and short. Here the author moved from the example of the unbelieving heart in their Jewish forefathers into calling these Jews to watch out and to discern, to be sure that they did not have and hold onto an unbelieving heart just like their forefathers. And He showed them the ramifications of holding onto that unbelieving heart. They would surely fall away from the living God. They would surely fall into apostasy.

And for these Jews, this original audience that the author was writing to, apostasy for them was going back into Judaism. Apostasy was going back under the Old Covenant with Moses as their great leader. Now there is some insight here that I want to offer that I simply did not have time to make last week. This is the benefit of revisiting and reviewing Scripture like this. And this is very important to see. This is extremely relevant for us today. Those Jews that are described in verses 7 to 11, they basically did three things. They rejected God's Word. They rejected God's worker. And they rejected God's work.

When God spoke to them through Moses, they rejected that. When Moses spoke to them and led them as God had directed, they rejected Him. When God through Moses tried to lead them into the Promised Land, they rejected all of that as well. They simply rejected God's Word spoken by and given through Moses. They simply rejected Moses as God's appointed leader. They simply rejected God's plan to take them into the Promised Land. You see it? They rejected God's Word. They rejected God's worker. They rejected God's work.

And look church, there are people who profess to be believers today that fall into the same pattern of behavior and they do the very same thing that this first generation of Jews did. Now this is what happens. Sometimes someone will be in the church for a long time. Sometimes someone, they would have been raised in a solid Christian home. Sometimes they may even be leaders. But this is what happens at the right time. At the right time and the right place. They step forward and they reject the clear teaching of God's Word and they offer an alternative understanding of God's Word.

And when they hear someone clearly correct them and direct them back to the clear teaching of Scripture, they reject the one or the ones that offer that clear teaching of God's Word. And then or when they continue in this pattern, they ultimately reject what God's Word says about the church, what the church should be and what the church should do. And they seek to make the work of the church something that they want. And when that happens today, you have just what we see in those Jews as described in verses 7 to 11. What's described here in verse 12? You have someone who has and holds onto an evil unbelieving heart.

They are rebelling against the true and the living God and they are running headlong into apostasy. I'll give you an example. Just like these Jews needed an example, we need examples. It fleshes out truth for us. I've seen churches have a pastor who preaches truth, the Word of God. And as that pastor preaches the truth and attempts to lead the church, God's way and God's direction according to the Word of God, the leaders in that church will rise up. And what happens? They reject God's Word, they reject God's worker and they reject God's work. You see? Isn't that amazing folks?

The sins that people committed thousands of years ago, it's just repeated even today. And then third, last week we studied the call to exhort one another out of verse 13. This is simple and this is short as well. Here the author called them to a very important corporate responsibility. He called them to come alongside one another for the purpose of mutual encouragement and even correction. Now why? What was the purpose of this? So that they would not be hardened by the clever or the deceitfulness of sin. And this responsibility included all of them in the life of the church we learned.

This was an everyday responsibility for all in the church. This was an urgent responsibility that needed to be done today. And this was a very serious responsibility because of the seriousness of the deceitfulness of sin. And look at the purpose of this mutual encouragement. It was twofold and it is twofold for us today. First this was to help prevent one another from the trap of sin and sinfulness. We can say this pertain to what we may call general Christian living. But then second, this was to help one another in case they held on to, they had and held on to that evil unbelieving heart.

The context here tells us that this call to come alongside one another for mutual edification was to help one another to make sure that none of them had an evil unbelieving heart because of the deceitfulness of sin. And that would father harden their heart and hearts to even more unbelief. Now there is a lesson here. We have people among us who are unconverted to Christ. And we need to do three things here. First, those of you who know or suspect that you are not saved, you need to go to two or three people in the church who are mature believers for this mutual edification. But let me give you a warning.

If you do not go to someone who is mature and understands biblical conversion, they will not be able to help you, they will hinder you. I have seen many, many in the life of the church wrestle with the fact that they were lost and they go to someone and they go to the wrong person and that person gives them the wrong counsel and that person ultimately is the bird of the air that snatches the gospel seed out of their mind and out of their heart that we see in Matthew chapter 13. Now when I say that, I cannot understand God's sovereignty and human responsibility in that work, but that happens.

So if you know that you are lost or you suspect that you are lost, you need to go to some people, two or three people, one or two, who understand conversion, who can counsel you the right way. Then second, those of you who know or suspect that you are not saved, you need to get some life or death urgency in your bones. What does the text say today? What was the point of that? The author was emphasizing today the here and now. Today if you hear his voice, you do not harden your heart. Now let me show you something.

If you suspect that you are lost and you really think that you are lost, let me tell you how you harden your heart, apathy and procrastination. That's a sin. Don't harden your heart with apathy and procrastination. If I told you that this building was on fire, you would run out of here like a wild man or a wild woman. Isn't that right? If you are lost and you are not converted to Christ, there needs to be urgency within your bones today if you hear his voice. Then third, we as a church, we need to come alongside those who are not saved and to help them in their unbelief. When? Today. Today. Every day. How?

Today I have taught you faithfully how to pray. We know how to pray from our teaching in Luke 11. We should pray. We should ask and seek and knock. We should persist in prayer for our friends, our neighbors, those who sit behind us that need to come to faith in Christ. And then what do we do? We wait. The work of the Spirit. John 3 says it's a mystery. We can't predict when it happens, where it's going, except for what happens when the Spirit comes. Now, let's get into verses 14 to 19. And first, I want us to look at the believing heart that perseveres in verse 14 and 15. Second, the example of the unbelieving heart, part 2.

He revisits that theme in verses 16 to 18. And then third, the consequence of unbelief in verse 19. So, number 1, this would be the new material, the unbelieving heart perseveres, verses 14 to 15. The unbelieving heart perseveres. Let's look at verses 14 to 15. "For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. As it is said today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion." Now, what we have here in verses 14 to 15 is connected to the previous verses. This all really just flows together.

In verse 12, we have the warning to beware and discerning not to have an evil unbelieving heart, which would lead to a falling away from living God, which is truly a rebellion against God. In verse 13, we have the call to come alongside one another so as to encourage one another every day. Now, why? So as not to have this evil unbelieving heart and so that they would not be hardened over by the deceitfulness of sin in the unbelieving heart. Then in verses 14 to 15, we see the author take the next logical step by showing that the one that has the believing heart, they persevere.

Now, let's look at this by examining three things that we see in the one who truly believes. First, they are made for takers in Christ. Notice that the English Standard reads, "For we have come to share in Christ." The New American reads, "For we have become partakers of Christ." Now, the King James is different. The King James reads, "For we are made partakers of Christ." In this word, "partakers" or "share," in the original it means sharing in or partaking in. It's kind of obvious.

In this word, "have come," in the English Standard, the King James says, "made." It comes from a word in the original that speaks of coming into existence, a coming into being. And what the author was and is saying is this, in their salvation, an existence, a being, came about that did not exist before. They became partakers of Christ. They were made ones who shared in Christ. Before they savingly believed in Christ, they did not partake in Christ. But at their salvation, they became partakers in Christ. And notice, this speaks of what God did in them. This speaks of what God did and does in a man.

I like what the Bible scholar Albert Barnes says in describing what God does here. And I'm quoting, "We are spiritually united to the Savior. We become one with Him." Barnes goes on to illustrate, and this really helps us. He says, "It is the union of the branch to the vine where the branch is supported and nourished by the vine, and not the union of the ivy and the oak where the ivy has its own roots and merely clings around the oak and clings upon the oak." Then second, "They hold fast to Christ from the beginning to the end." Here the English Standard says, "If indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end," the Legacy Standard Bible says, "If we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end." And this holding fast, this speaks of the believer holding firm and the confidence they have in the Lord.

This confidence they had at first in their salvation is carrying on throughout the life. It is held on to until the end. Now notice this speaks of what man does. This speaks of what a man does. And notice what we have here, a paradox or a seeming contradiction. We have what God does, the fact that the believer becomes one who shares in Christ. And we have what the believer does, the fact that the believer holds firm until the end, just like they did at first. I love what the scholar Leon Morris says about this paradox. He says, "Our perseverance is due to the grace of God, and we must never regard it as something we achieve by our own effort.

But it is also true that we must not regard our effort as unimportant. We are to be active, not passive. We are to seek to live out our faith." Now at this point, I want us to see how this can be applied in two ways. One is broad, one is broad and theological. The other application is narrow and practical, and it is restricted to what we see here in Hebrews. Now broadly speaking, what we see here is this, the fact that true believers will persevere to the end. And we see an allusion to this fact in the construction of the language in verse 14.

The verse reads, "For we have come to share in Christ." In this coming to share in Christ, it is in the perfect tense, which points to the fact that true believers will persevere to the end. Now let me explain. Because this is in the perfect tense, the verse can truly read, "We came to share in Christ in the past when we came to faith in Christ. We share in Christ now as we live for Christ today, and we will continue to share in Christ all the way to the end." And in seeing verse 14, "From this angle teaches us another fact in truth.

Those who say they have come to share in Christ and do not hold fast to the end," they never, savingly believed in Christ to begin with. We see these same things taught in one of the most crucial chapters in the Gospels, Matthew chapter 13. "Those seeds that were sown along the rocks, they sprung up, but since they had no root, they had no fruit. And that represents the one who hears the gospel. They believe in Christ, but only in their emotions. They simply have no root, therefore they have no fruit. They fall away," the text says, "because of trials and persecution from the Word. They fall away. They do not hold fast to the end.

They are not true believers." And the lesson for us is this. Those who do not hold fast are not true believers, and many receive the gospel in their emotions. It's a shallow-hearted decision. There is no root, there is no fruit, and they do not hold fast to the end. But a much more narrow understanding and application of this verse is found within the context of Hebrews. In verse 12, the author warns them to beware and to be discerning that they do not have an evil heart of unbelief.

In verse 13, the author calls on all in the congregation to come alongside one another to encourage and to correct one another so that none of them would have this evil heart of unbelief. And within that teaching, we can see and feel the call to truly believe today if they find that they do not, in fact, possess a believing heart. He's calling on them to believe today. Well, right here in verse 14, the author was calling them to hold fast to the end for one purpose so that they would enter spiritual rest in eternity, unlike their Jewish forefathers who did not enter rest because those who do not hold fast, they do not enter rest.

And listen, church, listen close. It is not that those who do not hold fast lose their salvation. No, they never had it to begin with. Well, what do we see here in verse 14? Excuse me, what do we see here in verse 15? We've covered verse 14. What is verse 15 all about? Let's go back to the verses. "For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. As it is said today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion." Here the author simply says again what he has already said in verses 12 to 14. And what he was and is saying is simple.

His call to hold fast until the end was a call for today. He was and is saying, "Do not harden your heart today, hold fast until the end and start doing that today." And the lesson for us right here is this. We must see that we are to possess a holding fast salvation in Christianity. If not, we don't have a biblical Christianity. Look folks, biblical Christianity is this. We hold fast to the end. So what we have here in verses 14 and 15 is this. This author was calling them to persevere in their faith to the end. Therefore proving that they had believing hearts.

He explained that they had become partakers with Christ by a work of God in them and that they were expected to hold fast to Christ all the way to the end. And what were the results? They would prove that they had believing, persevering hearts. Now folks, before I move on, let me share something with you. When it comes time for your funeral, whether you know it or not, you're going to declare whether or not you had a persevering faith or not. I said this years ago and I wasn't joking the first time I said it. Nobody tells the truth in country music songs or funerals. In country music songs, everybody goes to heaven.

And in a funeral everybody goes to heaven. Not at the funerals that I preach. I'm not going to preach you into heaven. If you live your whole life here, me your pastor, I'm not going to preach you into heaven. But if you live a persevering faith, all I have to do is stand up in front of the congregation and say, "Look at how he lived. Look at how she lived." You see? What is he saying? True believers. True believers that have the true believing heart, they persevere. And when you get to the end, everybody will know it. Then number two, the example of the unbelieving heart, verses 16 to 18. The example of the unbelieving heart.

Here we see the example of the unbelieving heart again. I say that he revisited this subject. Here the author revisits Psalm 95, which he quoted extensively in verses 7 to 11. And he does this to give more meaning to the verses and the application of those verses in this circumstances. Here the author presses his point further in three questions. So I just want to ask the questions and answer the questions. First, this comes from the beginning of verse 16. "Who were those who heard but rebelled?" Who were those who heard but rebelled? Now to answer that question, all we have to do is go to the verse. So look at verse 16.

"For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses?" Here we see that those who rebelled were all who God rescued from Egyptian slavery and all who were led by Moses. Now the all is all, of course, except Joshua and Caleb. And notice this word "rebelled." We see the word "rebelled" in the English Standard. But the New American Standard and the Legacy Standard Bible and the King James used the word "provoked." Now here in the original, this means to provoke, to embitter, to exasperate, to make angry.

So this means this entire generation, the first generation, minus two, they provoked God, they exasperated God, they embittered God because of their rebellion against God. Now what is the point that the author is making here? The generation that saw God's signs and wonders in Egypt and who saw the most powerful nation in the world at that time brought to their very knees by God, they rebelled against God to the point where God was provoked to anger and wrath, and in His holy anger and right wrath, God swore an oath and He judged them. So the author's emphasis here is on the fact that they rebelled against God.

How many in the life of the church today see God do great things, yet they clearly rebel against God? I've seen women come to faith in Christ and the husband be lost, and I've seen that husband watch his wife live for the Lord as best that she could in his home. I've seen men watch a woman like that for years, year after year, and the whole time they're rebelling against God. I've seen God save law sinners in the life of the church, and a law sinner sit there and bow his neck and stiffen his heart. I've seen God do great things in families, in men, and in women, and yet some sit there and they just bow their neck and they harden their heart.

What do they do? They're rebelling against God. Second verse 17, the second question, "With whom was God provoked for 40 years?" With whom was God provoked for 40 years? Now to answer that question, all we've got to do is look at the verse again. Verse 17, "And with whom was he provoked for 40 years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?" Here we see to whom God was provoked for 40 years. Here he says, "Was it not with those who sinned?" And this, those who sinned here in the original language, it's in the emphatic, which means the author was highlighting their sin. He was exasperating their sinfulness.

And what happened to them? They died in the wilderness. They were not able to enter into the Promised Land and die in the land of promise. They died in the wilderness. And again, scholars say, it was at least 600,000 people or more. Instead of a graveyard in the Promised Land, their bodies were scattered all throughout the wilderness as they journeyed here and there, here and there. It was just a wilderness full of random graves. Now what's the author's point here? He was and is emphasizing the great sinfulness of their sin.

And he was in emphasizing that the wilderness generation faced the anger of God for their sin and for their sinfulness for 40 years. And the author's emphasis here is on the fact that they provoked God. They provoked God. They provoked God. Not just one time, but for 40 years. And as a result, they did not simply wander in the wilderness for 40 years. They wandered in the wilderness for 40 years while enduring the anger of God for the entire time and the entire time they continued in their great sin and sinfulness. And then third, verse 18, the third question, "With whom did God swear that they would not interrest?

With whom did God swear that they would not interrest?" Now to answer that question, it's just seen in the verse. It's simple, those who were disobedient. Now what's the author's point here? The author's point is that God is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years.

And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years.

And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years.

And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years.

And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. And he is in the wilderness for 40 years. If you have lived long enough, you know family members and friends who have died with an evil, unbelieving heart. They are an example of an evil, unbelieving heart. So please, sir, please, ma'am, do not be an example of having and holding on to an evil, unbelieving heart. And therefore, when it comes time for your funeral, your children, your family, your friends, your grandchildren will be standing there saying, "You will be died with an evil, unbelieving heart." So the example of the unbelieving heart revisited.

And then number three, the consequence of unbelief. We see this in verse 19, the consequence of unbelief. Let's read the verse. So we see that they, that would be that first generation, they were unable to enter because of unbelief. Here we see that the author gives a simple conclusion to this section of teaching. Simply he says they were unable to enter physical and spiritual rest. Why? Because of unbelief. Now we could stop right here and we could have the point of the author. But I want to ask a couple of questions here that I think will be good for us. Think with me here. What was behind their unbelief? What did their unbelief consist of?

What was their fault? What was their defect? All throughout chapter three, the author has been answering those questions by revealing their fatal flaws in their diabolical defects. First, the fatal flaw of this first generation is described as a hardness of heart. A hardness of heart. We see that in chapter three verse eight, chapter three verse thirteen, chapter three verse fifteen. Second, the fatal flaw of this first generation is described as a testing of God. We see that in chapter three verse nine. Third, the fatal flaw of this first generation is described as a going astray. We see that in chapter three verse ten.

Next, we see the fatal flaw of this first generation as described as a rebellion. We see this in chapter three verse sixteen, fifteen and sixteen. Next, we see the fatal flaw of this first generation as described as sin in verse seventeen. And last, the fatal flaw of this first generation is described as disobedience in verse eighteen. Now take a step back and see what the author was saying and doing here. All along, the author has been pointing out their fatal, sinful flaws. He's been pointing out their diabolical, sinful defects. And here in verse nineteen, he simply condenses these things into one sinful sin.

The most evil of sins, unbelief. Unbelief. Unbelief. And the consequences of their unbelief is they were unable to enter spiritual rest. And what he was saying to that original audience here is simple. To walk away from Jesus as their Messiah was to walk into unbelief, which was and is as bad as it gets. And as a result, they would not enter into true spiritual rest, which can only come in Jesus. And the lesson for us out of verse nineteen is twofold. Those today who are still in their unbelief, they possess all of the fatal flaws and the diabolical defects that are seen in chapter three.

Those today who are in unbelief, they have hard hearts and they harden their hearts in unbelief. They test God repeatedly. They go astray. They are in rebellion. And they are in sin and disobedience. That is who they are and how they live. And those today who do not believe, they do not have spiritual rest. Let me ask you something. Do you have spiritual rest today as you sit in this pew? When people come to saving faith in Christ, they come to rest, folks. Rest. The burden is gone. The guilt is gone. The burden is gone. The guilt is gone. The convicting work of the Holy Spirit of God is gone.

The Holy Spirit of God is no longer convicting them of sin, God's righteousness, and the judgment to come. The Holy Spirit of God takes another role in their life as the helper, the counselor, the comforter, the one that comes alongside. Are you in spiritual rest today? Or are you in the anguish of knowing that you're lost and you're not right with God? Look, come to faith in Christ. Come to Christ and find rest. Otherwise, the consequence of your unbelief is eternal unrest. Now, in conclusion, I want to end with a main point of verses 7 to 10.

You might say, "Pastor, for two sermons you've been giving us all kind of main points." Yeah, I know that. But the main point of verses 7 to 10 is this, spiritual rest for God's people. Spiritual rest for God's people. That first generation of Jews did not enter spiritual rest in God, nor did they enter the rest of the Promised Land. These Jews that were receiving this letter were in jeopardy of doing the same if they did not have saving belief in Jesus. And here today we have two kinds of people. Two kinds of people. Those who do savingly believe.

We have spiritual rest in this life, and we have eternal spiritual rest waiting for us after death. And then we have those who do not savingly believe. You do not have spiritual rest right now. In fact, you have the opposite of spiritual rest, and you do not have spiritual rest waiting for you after death if you stay in unbelief. So the title of the message, "Beware of the Evil Heart of Unbelief" believe today. Let's pray.
