Have you ever been to a river or lake and got yourself on a nice comfy float out on the water? You got your sunglasses on, a big bottle of cold water, you are enjoying the sun's rays, and the sound of the water all around you. Then you look up, after taking a quick power nap on the float, and you realize that you are a looong way away from where you first got in the water. The reason you are so far away is that you allowed the current to cause you to drift away from where you started your journey. 

This morning we will be starting the 2nd chapter in the Book of Hebrews. In our text we will see a caution to pay attention and heed the Word or we will find ourselves drifting. You don't have to be on a float in the river to find yourself drifting. Drifting is a serious problem that plagues Christianity. Christian drifting occurs when we allow complacency, comfort, convenience, neglect and society to be the focus of our attention and so we take our eyes off of Christ. 

The good news is that there is a remedy to keep from drifting. The good news is that we serve a merciful and forgiving Lord, Who will take us back even after we have found ourselves drifting far from Him.
