You're building experience and that's what gives hope in suffering. There's no way to develop this kind of strength, this kind of toughness, this kind of durability without suffering first. If the coach has scheduled a triple session for you right now, don't despair. Don't give up. Don't quit. Don't leave practice. Let suffering develop patience, let patience develop experience, let experience develop hope. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-myth-of-the-honorary-chairman-6398 2011-08-08T11:45:14-05:00 Jesus paid with His life, not to have the title of Lord, but the have the authority. Authority that is daily expanded through giving Him new ground from that 24-hour period of your life. You make Him Lord of the stuff of that day and you do it again tomorrow. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/bible-bloating-6180 2010-09-17T11:29:36-05:00 As you read the Bible, ask yourself two questions: "What is God saying here?" And "What am I going to do differently today because He said it?" God's Holy Spirit knows all about God's Word and all about your life. Each day ask God to show you how to bring those two together. http://internetevangelismday.com/church-growth.php 2010-08-13T12:36:17-05:00 It is not uncommon for church websites to be very inward focused and therefore unable to communicate effectively with outsiders in the community. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians%204:8-9&version=NIV 2009-09-25T09:59:06-05:00 In Paul's letter to the Philippians he gives them a list of criteria to evaluate what things they should think about. One of those items is things that are lovely. He says that by thinking of these things the God of peace will be with you.
