2. Even Christianity has it’s short-lived exhilaration (Matt.13:20-21; 2 Cor.4:18) The thrill of the temporary is so appealing The drumbeat of history; the message of the Bible (Psa.39:4-6; 90:9-10; James 4:13-14; 1 Jn.2:15-17; James 1:9-16) We have to resist the temporary thrill and seek that which will last (Matt.7:24ff; 16:26).

3. To overcome by faith: Believe in Jesus as God’s Son (John 8:24) Turn from your sins (Acts 17:30-31) Confess your faith in Christ (Matt.10:32-33) Be baptized for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38) Live a faithful Christian life (1 Cor.15:58) To come back to the faith: Turn from your sins (Acts 8:22) Confess your sins to God and seek His forgiveness (1 John 1:9; Acts 8:22) “What profit is it to a man if he experiences every thrill in the world, and loses that which matters most of all?”
