faith needs feeding

     “The first step is to recognise  the fact that your moods change. The next step is to make sure that, if you have once accepted Christianity, then some of its main doctrines shall be deliberately held before you your mind for some time every day. That is why daily prayers and religious reading and church-going are necessary parts of the Christian life. We have to be continually reminded of what we believe. Neither this belief nor any other will automatically remain alive in the mind. It must be fed.” C.S.Lewis – Mere Christianity (Book 3, Chapter 11, para. 6)

    well, it is a biblical answer! and it IS Lewis’ point exactly… that we need to feed our faith with the Word of God, with prayers, with spiritual readings… without this training, these disciplines… our faith grows weak!
