Christians starting the race, but then fogetting to seek God along the way

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...

Many start the race but few finish.

Along the way, other things become more interesting to some church people than the Word of God, or things can become more important to them, and their love of God and their love for the Word of God grows cold and they no longer want to read the Bible or spiritual blogs.

When this begins to happen we must recognize it quickly and pray:  God, please help me.  Please don't let me grow cold to YOU or to the Word.  Please give me the spark I need to cause that fire for the Word to light in my heart.  Please don't let me be swept away.

I believe this is something that happens to all at various points in life.

We have to fight for faith at that point in time.  And a starting place is prayer.

Jesus warned:  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many (for the Word of God) shall wax cold.  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.  (Mt. 24:12-13)

The honeymoon is great!  But life destroys some marriages.  We have to work to keep that fire for the Word of God burning within us as long as we live on this present earth.
