Welcome everyone to Episode 22 of The Higher Calling podcast presented by the Avondale Church of God! During the last couple of episodes we talked about the great lengths that God can go to in helping us to see reality.

We know that where there is no vision, the people perish, so we’re going to keep studying there at least one more session. A theme that has been present through all of this is that there is an objective reality that we don’t always see due to illusions, or non-real things that we perceive, which can turn into delusions which are non-real things that we believe. While ignorance is bliss, and avoidance might be a coping mechanism, even a useful one at times, the bible teaches us that to combat unbelief we need to see truth. When you are asleep spiritually, you are more likely to consent to enticement because you are not actively "keeping yourself" you are not watching circumspectly. The deceitfulness of unbelief is more likely to affect someone who is in the process of falling asleep, and the Christian wants to avoid that, and stay awake on guard against unbelief. 

We trust that you'll find the discussion both challenging and encouraging. As always, thank you for listening, and if you have any comments or would like to contact us for any other reason please visit www.avondalecog.org or email us at biblestudy@avondalecog.org. We love to hear from our audience, and would be happy to further any discussion, or pray for a need you may be experiencing. See you next time on the Higher Calling presented by the Avondale Church of God.
