I have two older friends who appear to have stumbled in their faith as they neared the goal. I'm not saying they lost their salvation. More just not as strong in their faith. Maybe this is just a result of getting older. My wife and I saw one of them recently and her comment afterward was "He looks old."
I've got years to go to reach their ages. Yet I don't want to stumble even now. One thing I've learned during Covid is attending church and choice of church is really important. On-line church just isn't doing it. It just so easy to find stuff that discourages faith or belief in God. I need a place and set of people who at least say they believe in God. I know one of the friends joined a church that to my perception is a social club with a steeple. In some ways, no wonder his faith weakened.
In my mind, I am thinking about 1 Corinthians 9:27 and Philippians 3:14. Not sure the reason I'm posting this. Maybe some dialogue would help.
