The Cause of Burn-Out

Burn-out occurs when we give out more than we take in. We go from giving out to giving up. Cars that aren't refueled will run out of gas. Wells that are not replenished will run dry. Batteries that are not recharged will have no power. We are not any different. A Christian that is not refueled, replenished, and recharged will burn out.
