GREAT QUOTES on BACKSLIDING
Posted by: prophetic <prophetic@...>
"Whenever you make up your mind to refuse to go where God
wants you to go and to do what God wants you to do, you must
make up your mind at the same time to renounce the friendship
of God. You cannot walk with Him and at the same time be in
rebellion against Him... it is mere mockery, to say "Lord, Lord"
and then refuse to do the things that He commands you to do."
-Clovis G. Chappell
"Taking it easy is often the prelude to backsliding. Comfort
precedes collapse."
-Vance Havner
"Prayer is the way you defeat the devil, reach the lost, restore a
backslider, strengthen the saints, send missionaries out, cure
the sick, accomplish the impossible, and know the will of God."
-David Jeremiah
"Most church members live so far below the standard, you would
have to backslide to be in fellowship with them."
-Vance Havner
"A revival does two things. First, it returns the Church from her
backsliding and second, it causes the conversion of men and
women; and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part
of the Church. What a spell the devil seems to cast over the Church today!"
-Billy Sunday
