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!     Author: Billy Sunday 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.     Author: David Jeremiah Most church members live so far below the standard, you would have to backslide to be in fellowship with them.     Author: Vance Havner Taking it easy is often the prelude to backsliding. Comfort precedes collapse.     Author: Vance Havner 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. God has no possible way of entering into fellowship with the soul that is disobedient to His will. Believe me, it is absolutely useless, it is mere mockery, to say "Lord, Lord" and then refuse to do the things that He commands you to do.     Author: Clovis G. Chappell However far you have gone from God and however stiff may be the tempest that blows about you, if you get this promise under your feet all the storms that hell can let loose against a human soul will leave you unshaken. But you must keep a firm stand on the promise.     Author: Clovis G. Chappell Worldliness is what makes sin look normal in any age and righteousness seem odd.     Author: David F. Wells     Source: God in the Wasteland The best way to avoid going downhill is to stay off the slope.     Author: Woodrow Kroll When you are not sure of your salvation, it is very easy to get discouraged and to backslide.     Author: Zac Poonen If you yield to Satan in the least, he will carry you further and further, till he has left you under a stupefied or terrified conscience: stupefied, till thou hast lost all thy tenderness. A stone at the top of a hill, when it begins to roll down, ceases not till it comes to the bottom. Thou thinkest it is but yielding a little, and so by degrees are carried on, till thou hast sinned away all thy profession, and all principles of conscience, by the secret witchery of his temptations.     Author: Thomas Manton The backslider likes the preaching that wouldn't hit the side of a house, while the real disciple is delighted when the truth brings him to his knees.     Author: Billy Sunday Remember that if you are a child of God, you will never be happy in sin. You are spoiled for the world, the flesh, and the devil. When you were regenerated there was put into you a vital principle, which can never be content to dwell in the dead world. You will have to come back, if indeed you belong to the family.     Author: Charles Spurgeon
