what do you say...

[ctrmc]

To someone who feels like they are "slipping" in their walk with Christ. They say that they want to read and
study God's word but feel clueless when picking up the bible. They aren't involved in church other than sunday attendance due to insecurities and aren't even good at praying half the time. They have said that they desperately want to be on fire but don't have any idea how to be. I sense despression, by the way, due to this issue. I want to give good Christian advice. Please, you mature christians out there, help!!

God Bless,

hmm... well it is very possibly that they are slipping. really all you can do is keep encouraging then to read their Bible and to continue to pray. also what type of Bible is it? i mean if it is a KJ version then yea that gets confusing. a good type is NKJ it is (for me) easy to read. also try NIV(there is no thy or thee or that stuff) very easy to read. about the "not praying well" you cant really say that they dont pray bad they could pray differently or they dont know how to. so yea that is all i can think of right now....

Hi
I would encourage them to start in the Gospel of John in a version they can understand. I found the NKJV and NIV helpful. I strongly suggest they read "So Great Salvation' by Charles Ryrie.
