Francis says:

After a person has become a Christian, four things will help him:
1) A regular study of the Bible, which is God's communication to us.
2) Regular prayer. Now that our guilt has been removed there is no barrier between us and Him and we are bale to talk freely with Him. There are two kinds of praying we need to practise; special times of prayer, and that constant looking to the Lord as we go about our daily tasks.
3) Talking to others about the God who exists and and His solutions to Man's dilemma
4) Regular attendance at a church where the Bible is believed. This does not mean every church, but one that is true to the content of the Bible.
