You Could Give Up, Or You Could Do This… By Stephen Altrogge "Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead."- 2 Corinthians 1:9 The Christian life is full of utterly impossible challenges. You think you can overcome your sin and live a holy life in your own strength? Have at it, my friend! Come back in six months and tell me how it's going for you. You think you have enough wisdom to help your children navigate all the landmines and pitfalls of life? Well huzzah for you! (Side note: we really need to bring the word "huzzah" back into usage.) Do you think you have enough insight to untangle the sticky relational mess you find yourself in? Do you think you have the strength to sufficiently lead your small group, worship team, counseling team, church planting team, or church? Right. Have at it my friend. I'll have a bed in a padded room waiting for your return. |
