| Christians will know that their love for God is in a consumption [wasting disease] when they make little reckoning of God's worship. Duties of religion are performed in a dead formal manner; if they are not left undone, yet they are ill done. This is a sad symptom of a spiritual consumption; remissness in duty shows a decay in our first love. The strings of a violin being slack, the violin can never make good music; when men grow slack in duty, they pray as if they prayed not; this can never make any harmonious sound in God's ears. When the spiritual motions is slow and heavy, and the pulse of the soul beats low, it is a sign that Christians have left their first love. Thomas Watson in All Things for Good
