There are various terms we toss around in Christian circles that are seldom understood as they need to be.  "Apostasy" is one of those.  This article provides a brief primer on the concept of apostasy, and it pays particular attention to how it's used in the Scriptures.  The application of apostasy for the church today is a sobering one, for we may be more off-course than we are tempted to believe.

The Basics Of Apostasy

Unquestionably, the Bible remains the final say in all matters of our present and future lives. It's therefore easy to subscribe to the safe and predictable ideas concerning God's Word. But sometimes the most accurate positions are the ones that emerge when we choose to step out from behind the rigid constraints of stained glass views. That means we may need to wrestle with uncomfortable themes.  When I write an article, I use that exercise to process issues that God has laid on my heart.  I may spend many weeks on it as I carefully consider its content. I trust these articles will inspire you, provoke you, and compel you to study the Bible with a fresh perspective.  My website has more information about my ministry and other teaching materials as well. http://thewordwithsteve.com
