11These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come. 12So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!

I worked a job once where I was not backslidden, but I worked 12-16 hrs a day. It became a matter of work and sleep. I would come to church and have someone smile and say "OH we are PRAYING for YOU!" I had a daily walk with God and was not cold, but simply not there due to work. Someone else stated in anohter theread they are called upon within their church by their first name instead of "Brother"- the mentality to consume instead of show compassion is large.
