Endurance Is Not Just The

We Reverence God And We Hallow God's Name When Our Life Is Such That It Brings Honor To God And Attracts Others To Him.

When We Accept Christ We Enter Into Three New Relationships: (1) We Enter Into A New Relationship With God. The Judge Becomes The Father; The Distant Becomes The Near; Strangeness Becomes Intimacy And Fear Becomes Love. (2) We Enter Into A New Relationship With Our Fellow Men. Hatred Becomes Love; Selfishness Becomes Service; And Bitterness Becomes Forgiveness. (3) We Enter Into A New Relationship With Ourselves. Weakness Becomes Strength; Frustration Becomes Achievement; And Tension Becomes Peace.

To Repent Means To Realize That The Kind Of Life We Are Living Is Wrong And That We Must Adopt A Completely New Set Of Values. To That End, It Involves Two Things. It Involves Sorrow For What We Have Been And It Involves The Resolve That By The Grace Of God We Will Be Changed.

One Of The Highest Of Human Duties Is The Duty Of Encouragement...it Is Easy To Laugh At Men's Ideals; It Is Easy To Pour Cold Water On Their Enthusiasm; It Is Easy To Discourage Others. The World Is Full Of Discouragers. We Have A Christian Duty To Encourage One Another. Many A Time A Word Of Praise Or Thanks Or Appreciation Or Cheer Has Kept A Man On His Feet. Blessed Is The Man Who Speaks Such A Word.

I Thank You For My Friends, For Those Who Understand Me Better Than I Understand Myself. For Those Who Know Me At My Worst, And Still Like Me. For Those Who Have Forgiven Me When I Had No Right To Expect To Be Forgiven. Help Me To Be As True To My Friends As I Would Wish Them To Be To Me.
