The book presents prayer as both deeply personal and actively practical, calling believers to speak with God consistently, trust His will, wait patiently, pray for others, and expect God to work according to His wisdom. Ron Christian emphasizes that prayer should shape the home, the church, daily decisions, service to others, and the believer’s understanding of God’s presence and care. The work also contends that faith grows through humility, obedience, persistence, thanksgiving, praise, and dependence on the Holy Spirit rather than self-reliance. Through devotional reflections, biblical passages, prayers, affirmations, and discussion questions, the book invites Christians to move beyond merely talking about prayer and to live as people who trust God, listen for His guidance, intercede with compassion, and receive His power for faithful Christian living.https://clmbooks.org/growing-a-godly-life-series/maintaining-the-life-of-faith/Sun, 28 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://clmbooks.org/growing-a-godly-life-series/maintaining-the-life-of-faith/<em>Maintaining the Life of Faith</em> is a Christian devotional work by Ron Christian that focuses on perseverance, spiritual alertness, and continued faithfulness after conversion. The book maintains that the Christian life is not a one-time profession of belief but an ongoing walk of trust, obedience, repentance, and dependence on God’s sustaining grace. Ron Christian warns against spiritual drifting, neglecting the means of grace, disobedience, distraction, and relying on past spiritual experiences instead of daily fellowship with Christ. He contends that believers must remain watchful, keep their first love, stay open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and continue pressing forward even through weakness, suffering, temptation, and uncertainty. The book also addresses the relationship between assurance, free will, perseverance, and the danger of careless living, while affirming that God’s power is available to those who keep trusting Him. Its central message is that faith must be maintained through abiding in Christ, obeying God’s Word, yielding to the Holy Spirit, and persevering with hope until the end.
