Endurance, Pt.9
ByENDURANCE IS DISCIPLESHIP.
If you want to lose endurance, lose sight of JESUS!
If you want to lose endurance, lose sight of the CROSS Jesus died on to save our sinful and hell-broken souls!
If you want to lose endurance, fixate your eyes on your FAULTS instead of Christ’s FORGIVENESS!
If you want to lose endurance, worry about your past mistakes, instead of worshiping the Prince of Peace!
If you want to lose endurance, bury yourself in guilt, instead of believing and receiving God’s grace!
If you want to lose endurance, be more afraid of what everybody else thinks of you, instead of what God thinks of you!
If you want to lose endurance, forget about the fact that Jesus is still changing you, you are still a work in progress and HE STILL LOVES YOU NO MATTER WHAT!
If you want to lose endurance as a pastor, focus more on BUILDING A BIG CHURCH, than BELIEVING IN A BIG GOD!
If you want to lose endurance, try to do everything in your own strength, covering up all your own faults, instead of relying on Christ’s redemptive power to change you and empower you!
Oh yeah, and one more thing, if you want to lose endurance, STOP LISTENING TO JESUS and start ignoring His promptings, avoid His convictions, don’t get under His authoritative Word, and certainly don’t gather with His Body.
