Now I want to put two words together that don't fit.

Almost Christian.

Today, Pastor Greg Lorry helps us make sure our faith is sincere.

Our faith is genuine, and we're not holding back in our relationship with the Lord.

You can't be an almost Christian. Now, you may be on your way to becoming a Christian. Now you may be on your way to becoming a Christian, but either you are a

Christian or you are not a Christian, but you can't be an almost Christian. That's an oxymoron, almost Christian. for a new beginning amazing grace how sweet the sound

again you hear and the angels are seen it

this is the day the day when life begins.

Never drive away from home and had that nagging feeling you might have left the stove on,

or forgot to lock a door or left a curling iron plugged in.

If you don't go back and check, you start thinking of how things could go horribly wrong.

We want to be sure about certain things, don't we? Well today on a new

beginning, Pastor Greg Lorry helps us check ourselves when it comes to the

sincerity of our faith in Christ. When it comes to matters of eternity, close enough isn't close enough. Well let's grab our Bibles and turn to Acts Chapter 26. The title of my

message is The Almost Christian.

The almost Christian.

Almost.

That's an interesting word, isn't it?

It's a word that means slightly short of, not quite, close, nearly. It's often associated with delaying something.

Dinner is almost ready, or Jenny almost fainted. That's how we'll often use it.
