Where is the love?

My Utmost For His Highest
 
‘If you do not obey the light, it will turn into darkness. “If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!” (Matthew 6:23). The moment you forsake the matter of sanctification or neglect anything else on which God has given you His light, your spiritual life begins to disintegrate within you. Continually bring the truth out into your real life, working it out into every area  […]’ CHAMBERS
 
Backslidden, carnal Christian, fallen away from the faith …. There are a number of terms that describe the condition … you may continue to do the same things … speak the same words … but your heart has grown hard toward spiritual things … The Lord has become like th old pair of shoes you have in the closet.  The only time you think about them is when you see them and then you have no desire to put them on … you just make a note that they are there . .gathering dust.  The affection is gone.
 
1 Corinthians 3:2-3,9,16 ‘I [Paul] fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able;for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? […] For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. […]Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?’
 
Draw near to God … For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (Ephesians 5:8)
