I was saved at the age of 12 and exposed to the truths of Scripture during my youth, yet there came a season when my heart gradually grew cold toward God. Though I still possessed knowledge of biblical truth, inwardly I had drifted into a dangerously dark and backslidden condition where spiritual passion had been replaced with distance, familiarity, and complacency.
