 Your passion for the Lord does not have to ebb and flow. I think all too often we buy into church culture myths, cliches, and we say things like, Well, I'm in my backsliding phase. Saying I'm in my backsliding phase as a Christian is like saying, I'm in my cheating phase as a spouse. There's no such thing as the cheating phase. There's no such thing as a period where you can go and do whatever you want to break that covenant. No, when I'm redeemed by the blood of Jesus, I'm in covenant with him.
