Today's message is inspired by studying the lives & examples of heroes of the faith throughout the ages, especially starting from the 17th century till the end of the 20th century. The lives of these well known revival preachers & missionaries had all similar things in common, even though they came from different walks of life, education, status, wealth (mostly from poor backgrounds), countries, abilities & gifting. I discovered there are 9 similarities they all possessed & practiced that can all help & encourage us to keep close to the Lord & finish well. Hence the title: "Nine antidotes against backsliding" https://youtu.be/n-MJTNdQUUA
