If we get lazy in our faith and don\u2019t take care of it, don\u2019t keep it maintained, decay will start to set in. Then pretty soon we allow a leak to happen that will soon turn from a drip to a steady stream. If we don\u2019t get that leak and the decay fixed it will seem like we are at a point where it is too bad to fix. Our faith will never get to the point where we can\u2019t get a new roof but why let it get to that point? Let\u2019s address the decay as soon as it starts. Be consistent in our prayer life, be consistent in our Bible reading, be consistent in being involved in our church community.
