The soul is dry and barren. Love to the brethren fades. United prayer is forsaken. The little assembly no more appears beautiful. Compassion for the unconverted is low and cold.
Sin is unrebuked, though committed under their eye.
Christ is not confessed before men. This is the case, I fear with many. It is a fearfully dangerous time. Nothing but a visit of the Holy Spirit to your soul can persuade you to return. The soul of a believer needs grace every moment.
