The Backslider in Heart

Remember when you first got saved and Christ was in FULL view?

Has that view shifted? Is it so far back now, that Christ is in your REAR view?

This shift occurs slowly. It's a slow drifting back. Little by little you start to slide back. This is called back-sliding and it starts in the heart.

Backsliding is not so much about the externals, as it is the internals.

Many Christians will still maintain daily Bibe readings, however they are not interested in what they are reading. The external activity is there, but the heart is backslidden.

They will pray and continue with family devotions. However, their heart doesn't enjoy it like they used to. The external activity is there, but the heart is backslidden.

Make today the day when Christ comes back into FULL view.

Proverbs 14:14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
