*California** Drifting Part 1*
\\ *Drifting* \\ 1.
According to the dictionary */drifting/* means to float aimlessly according to the path of least resistance in a current of air or water.
\\ 2. */Drifting/* in car racing is to make a turn by using the throttle to lose traction and swing the rear of vehicle around the turn.
\\ \\ In a letter to the Jewish believers the author writes: \\ · *Hebrews 2:1-3* \\ 1 So we must be more careful to follow what we were taught.
Then we will not stray away from the truth.
2 The teaching God spoke through angels was shown to be true, and anyone who did not follow it or obey it received the punishment that was earned.
3 So surely we also will be punished if we ignore this great salvation.
The Lord himself first told about this salvation, and those who heard him testified it was true.
\\ Verse 1 the Greek word translates as “let slip” \\ · *Psalm 119:9-11* \\ Hiding God's Words in our hearts.
Memorizing and meditating on scriptures is a way to stay on the right path and not drift away from God's plan for our lives.
It's too easy at times to just float away drawn by the current of society, as we just float leisurely enjoying a relaxing sunny day.
We don't even know how far we've strayed until we catch a glimpse of a stationary object, something that hasn't been moved by the current, something on solid ground on the shore.
\\ · *1 John 2:15-17* \\ We are warned here not to "love" the world.
This meaning of love is to "hold dearly".
This means not to love things more than we love God.
To hold on loosely.
If God wants us to "give it up" we won't be so attached to it that we pick our love for it over our love for our God.
\\ · *2 Corinthians 13:5* \\ We are to constantly "test" ourselves.
It would be a type of Quality Control Test.
Manufactures and Service Providers use these everyday to make sure their products are staying up to the "Company Standard".
We need to do the same.
We should constantly be testing and examining our lives to make sure we have not drifted off from our path.
\\ \\ I remember running a compass course teaching young campers how to read a compass.
To ensure you were going in the right direction you would take a compass reading and then fix your eyes on an immovable object on the next hill.
Then you would walk to that object and do the same until you got to where you were going.
While walking you would keep the object in sight, if you lost sight of the object you took another compass reading.
If you were just one or more degrees off your mark after a few miles you would never find the small target flag (it also had your next compass directions).
\\ \\ If we fail to test or examine ourselves we run the risk of losing sight of our target and drifting off course.

· Verse 1
*3901 pa?a????* [/pararrhueo/ ~/par·ar·hroo·*eh*·o~/] v. From 3844 and the alternate of 4482; GK 4184; AV translates as “let slip” once.
*1* to glide by: lest we be carried by, pass by.
1a lest the salvation which these things heard show us how to obtain, slip away from us.
1b a thing escapes me.
1c slips my mind.
· Verse 2
*3847 pa??ßas??* [/parabasis/ ~/par·*ab*·as·is~/] n f.
From 3845; TDNT 5:739; TDNTA 772; GK 4126; Seven occurrences; AV translates as “transgression” six times, and “breaking” once.
*1* a going over.
*2* metaph.
a disregarding, violating.
2a of the Mosaic law.
2b the breach of a definite, promulgated, ratified law.
2c to create transgressions, i.e. that sins might take on the character of transgressions, and thereby the consciousness of sin be intensified and the desire for redemption be aroused.
*Temptation* (pe??asµ??).
It is a mistake to define this word as only /solicitation to evil/.
It means /trial/ of any kind, without reference to its moral quality.
Thus, Gen. 22:1 (Sept.),
“God did /tempt/ Abraham;” “This he said to /prove/ him” (John 6:6); Paul and Timothy /assayed/ to go to Bithynia (Acts 16:7); "/Examine/ yourselves" (2 Cor.
13:5).
Here, generally of all situations and circumstances which furnish an occasion for sin.
We cannot pray God not to tempt us to sin, "for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man" (James 1:13).
