"The symptoms of spiritual decline," says Dr. Payson, "are like those which attend the decline of bodily health. It generally commences with the loss of appetite & disrelish for wholesome food, prayer, reading the Scriptures & devotional books. Whenever you perceive these symptoms be alarmed! Your spiritual health is in danger. Apply immediately to the Great Physician for a cure."

“Among the signs of backsliding are indifference to prayer and
self-examination; trifling or unprofitable conversation; neglect of public
worship; shunning the people of God; association with the world; thinking
lightly of sin; neglect of the Bible; and often gross immorality.” - C. Buck.
“Demas has fallen in love with the present world and has
deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica…” – Paul (2 Tim 4:10 CEB)
Heb 10:38 (GNT): “My righteous people, however, will believe
and live; but if any of them turns back, I will not be pleased with them.”
