This section from the book ‘Finish Strong’ by Steve Farar was especially helpful for me. Hopefully it will be of help to you also if you are experiencing some of these symptoms.
And before you say ‘I don’t need this’ you may want to read some parts or all of this chapter because there is a lot about pride.
Farar uses a quote from Thomas Carlyle at the beginning of the Chapter – ‘The greatest fault is to be conscious of none’
Here it is:
‘We should be aware of spiritual indifference.
Blindness to Spiritual things doesn’t come first. Arrogance and presumption don’t come first. There is something that comes before these things; there is something that provides the necessary soil for these poisonous plants to germinate and grow. And that something is spiritual indifference. It’s an ever-so-gradual cooling of your spiritual temperature. It’s an ever-so-subtle fading of your love for the Lord Jesus. It’s as silent and subtle as a slow moving shadow…’
