“Never Give In”

“This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty-never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”

Sir Winston Churchill – Harrow School, 29 October 1941.

Father, I ask that You will help me understand that Jesus is in the hurts, in the disappointments, in the disasters, that He is leading me on.  Setting me free from that which is shackling me; all my “self-sufficiency” and “self-reliance,” all my desire to be exalted, to be made much of.

Ray Stedman

Hope is all you have when you have no faith.

Hope is what you have when you deliberately turn away from your faith and try to do things on your own.

Hope is what you have when you have not given enough over to the Lord.

Jake Stapleton

Bible School This Morning

Context: We were having a conversation about the difference between Hope and Faith.  This came to mind and I shared with the group.
