Subject: Can a person push God too far?? |
Bible Note: kalos I need to make an addition to what I ealier posted to you. I posted the follwing, in my first response to you: "Backsliding is, as the word implies, a sliding back--not a jump off a cliff" "Initially, the prayer life may be crowded out with other interests--even innocent pastimes: sports, hobbies, television. As we fill our hearts and lives with junk food, our hunger for the Word diminishes. And Church attendance usually slackens off. The backslidden persons sensitivity to spiritual things is not what it used to be, we may sense very little guilt. The further they stray, the more distant the voice of God becomes." In my haste I forgot to give the source for that quote. Which I will now do. The source is: Diane Dew, "The Backslider in Heart," http://www.dianedew.com/backsldg.htm "Essentials of Revival." |
