The backslider in heart receives the fill of his own ways, but a good man is rewarded for his ways.
- Proverbs 14:14
Backslider was a basic word in the religious vocabulary I learned as I grew up. Exempla were on display throughout the town: people who had made a commitment of faith to our Lord, had been active in our little church but had lost their footing on the ascent to Christ and backslid.
- Eugene Peterson
It is the worst time in history to be a backslider. It is the worst time ever to be cold in heart and stupid and go and do your own thing.
- Bill Johnson
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.
- 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.
