During great times of despair, such as family death, divorce, etc. we watch many Christians slide.
Are the majority of believers truly living for God or this current life we have on this earth?
I consider this with sin that occurs without despair. For example 'choosing' a path because it feels good to the flesh [e.g. pre-marital sex] versus choosing the path constructed in scripture that leads to life.
So what and why or do you experience times when it feels we are doing all we can to merely wake up in the morning and survive ... versus holding enjoyment beyond the mourning or whatever despair might exist?
I have a theory that 'we' ourselves have done something to ourselves...whether it be a poor decision or regrets versus the nature of life that is not something we ought not to understand and prepare ourselves for (i.e. such as the evitably loss of *this* life).
So many question 'why' something occurs [I myself try to use logic which can frustrate a person if something 'is' -- but there is no human logic to it].
Should we be asking why and what do you think of back sliding during times of destress in life.
Thanks.
