Reasons for Backsliding

Not Praying – Matthew 26:41

Being infants – 1 Corinthians 3:1

And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.

1 Corinthians 3:3

Bad Company – 1 Corinthians 15:33

Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits

Godless chatter – 2 Timothy 2:16

But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness.
