"The Disadvantages Of Backsliding"

I would like to share this powerpoint presentation of a message I shared a few months back. I posted it on Scribd. It's called "The Disadvantages of Backsliding:Lessons from the Life of Solomon".

Some Christians think that they can "schedule" backsliding...like "test the waters for a season" or "jump over the fence for a few months". Then afterwards they'll "repent" and "go back to God" after the said period of "testing the waters". They don't realize that backsliding, even for a short season, has its far-reaching, life-altering, sometimes life-ending, consequences. What's worse is when one is King of Israel and he backslides, and brings the whole nation along with him. Here I gave lessons from the life of Solomon.
