"WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT COMMITMENT"....(Ruth 1:14-18)

The word "Commit" appears in 170 verses in the bible.  In most cases, it refers to giving ones-self to sinful behavior.  God destroyed the first world with a flood because peoples minds and hearts were commted (totally dedicated) to vile imaginations and lewdness....and THAT is the WRONG kind of commitment.
com•mit (verb)
"to consign for preservation,  to pledge or engage (oneself) to a position, to bind or obligate, to assure, to promise;  to do; perform;  to send into a battle: as if to say "The commander has committed all his troops to the front lines."  to obligate yourself, be involved regularly"!
1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 
*Paul warned young Timothy that in the last days there would be a lack of commitment concerning MARRIAGE----1 Timothy 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
*He also told the Hebrew believes that there would be a lack of commited MEMBERSHIP as the end approached----Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. 
*In our generation, people will believe anything they hear BUT GOD!  There is a pervasive lack of commitment concerning the MIND----2 Timothy 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (Satan's 1st attack on the human race was on the mind of Eve in the garden of eden!)
