…i’m ready to quit…
have you ever said that, i’m ready to quit? oh i know you have thought it. satan makes sure that you’ve thought it, but have you ever said it and then did it?
now the good thing is that GOD still loves me even when i quit, even when i quit on HIM. now of course there are some things that i should quit, like those vanilla creme filled doughnuts at dunkin doughnut. i am sure glad they don’t have dunkin doughnuts in las vegas. it sure helps my resolution to quit eating them, ha! it is good to quit some things but those good things, those things that when we do them makes us dangerous to satan, the resolve must be to not quit. what about my marriage to margaret…no way! what about when it really gets tuff as the pastor of harvest…no way.
i just live with the resolve that i can do all things, even the tuff stuff, through CHRIST who gives me the strength to handle the tuff stuff.
if CHRIST didn’t quit while HE was walking up that road to HIS death then by HIS power i’m not going to quit when satan hits me with major tuff stuff. tuff stuff thrown at me just means that satan knows i’m dangerous when i doing CHRIST stuff so with CHRIST in me i will not quit because CHRIST is not a quiter. and i’m a CHRIST follwer.

Great post Bill. The tough stuff really is hard - but well worth sticking around for. I will have to share with you some of the things God has been doing recently. It is pretty exciting. Sure wish you liked to talk on the phone. Oh well, I will call Margaret soon, and she can tell you.
