The Christian life is very much like climbing a hill of ice. You cannot slide up, nay,
you have to cut every step with an ice axe; only with incessant labour in cutting and
chipping can you make any progress; you need a guide to help you, and you are not
safe unless you are fastened to the guide, for you may slip into a crevasse. Nobody
ever slides up, but if great care be not taken they will slide down, slide back, or in
other words backslide. This is very easily done. If you want to know how to backslide,
the answer is leave off going forward and you will slide backward, cease going
upward and you will go downward of necessity, for stand still you never can.

I love Spurgeon. How have you been? Is you fibro doing well? We have colds here and praying for B to not get a fever. I need a note on how to get that link set up for Braveheart someday.
Great post! As always, I love your header:) Have a blessed day Brandie!
New and Private Blog/A Note From Theresa
I've had a person coming over to my blog and take what I said and posted it on her blog and said nothing but ugly things about it. And say ugly things about the people I love.
I don't want this person doing this again so I am making a new blog with a private invite to it.
please send me emails so I can invite you in. Thank you, to all my good friends.
theresamcentire@yahoo.com send me your name and email address to my email. Thank you
P.S this blog will not be used any more and deleted soon.
Time is running out, This blog will be deleted Monday Morning, so please send me an email if you want to follow my private blog.
Great blog and post. So many do not like to talk about the topic of backsliding. Thanks for sharing and I will be back to visit. God bless, Deb
