Fortunately, God promises not only to forgive us, but to cure us of our tendency to backslide. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah%203:14&version=NIV 2009-08-25T10:56:04-05:00 God is always willing to embrace a backslider who returns to the faith. Here, he invites his "faithless" people to return to Him.
