Chronic Backsliders?
Maybe you have some you know of like this. They get onfire for God, come to church, pray, read the word, get involved with the work of God to minister to others and reach lost souls. Then they grow cold and stop going to church, stop praying, stop reading the word....stop everything but go back to their former selves. Then they make a go at it again and start coming back to church etc etc...
Are these people destined to be like this? Are they just a certain kind of ground Jesus refered to that the seed falls on?
If so is there anyway to change the kind of ground you are?
