5 Steps of a Backslider

Spiritual drift often begins with small steps. In 5 Steps of a Backslider, Evangelist W.T. Elliott follows Peter's experience in the Gospel of Mark to encourage believers to guard their relationship with God.

Presented as a lesson in prevention, the message examines self-confidence, pride, carelessness, withdrawing from fellowship, and ultimately denying the Lord. Evangelist Elliott calls listeners to watch and pray, depend on God's strength, and remain grounded in Scripture rather than trusting their own ability to stand.

The lesson also offers hope for those who have wandered. Turning to the prodigal son's return, he emphasizes repentance, the Father's compassion, and the possibility of full restoration. His closing appeal is to keep our eyes on Jesus and continue walking with Him.
