Backsliding, generally first begins with neglect of private prayer.
J. C. Ryle
Image
The Christian life is never static. One must either grow in grace, or there will be backsliding and deterioration.
Henry Allen Ironside
Image
Are you tempted? Look unto Jesus. Are you afflicted? Look unto Jesus. Do all speak evil of you? Look unto Jesus. Do you feel cold, dull, and backsliding? Look unto Jesus.
J. C. Ryle
Image
Taking it easy is often the prelude to backsliding. Comfort precedes collapse.
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
Image
I wish there were more true conversion, and then there would not be so much backsliding, and, for fear of suffering, living at ease, when there are so few to contend for Christ and His cause.
Donald Cargill

What to one man is the virtue which he has sunk below the possibility of aspiring to, is to another the backsliding by which he forfeits his spiritual crown.
George Eliot
Image
I'm starting to frighten myself, because I'm backsliding into my devil-may-care attitude. I'm sure it's going to catch up with me.
Guy Maddin
Image
There is only one way to be revived and healed from our backslidings so that we may become fruitful even in old age. We must take a steady look at the glory of Christ in His special character, in His grace and work, as shown to us in the Scripture.
John Owen
Image
You can blame circumstances, but backsliding always begins in the heart.
Aiden Wilson Tozer

The deadly monotony of Christian country life where there are no beggars to feed, no drunkards to credit, which are among the moral duties of Christians in cities, leads as naturally to the outvent of what Methodists call revivals as did the backslidings of the people in those days.

Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord for I am married unto you.
Ellen G. White
