When you start to doubt and feel discouraged, hold fast

Count the cost, consider the goal, and keep on. 

As we’ve aged and experienced our share of health and other issues, indeed, we can’t do everything we used to, and we are certainly slower. We might have more in common with the gnarled old tree than one in its prime. Yet, we are still called to serve, give, and love.

Hold fast against the rising tide of darkness, the last days are coming, and our ultimate victory is assured, guaranteed by God Himself.

We are called to truth proclamation in words, deeds, and how you live your life. If you and I don’t tell them, who will?

There will come a time when we experience the last goodbye and say so long to death and sorrow. I can hardly wait.

Change is a fact of life for everyone. It may be sudden and traumatic, like some of the examples I have given. It might be slow, like the changing of the seasons, or even slower, like the gradual erosion of a mountain face, but almost everything changes.

I say almost everything very deliberately. God never changes.

Like the fictional Blue Brothers, you  and I are on a “mission from God.”

Our calling is from God, and our destination is secure. The vista before us is ever-changing. We are secure in the Lord, no matter what we face along the way.

In reality, you and I are misfits as well.

We sometimes claim salvation is by faith, but live as if it is by works.
