Bible Verses To Help You Finish (Even When You Don’t Want To)
For all the church-volunteer quitters … I’m sure we’ve all been there at one time or another. I know I have. But we have all been called to serve our local church. And many times we jump on an opportunity all gung-ho, only to peter out before the job is done. How can we stop the petering? …

Most of us have thought about leaving some sort of legacy. I know I have. I even own a shelf full of scrapbooks to prove it.

There I was again, grappling with what God was asking me to do. Something I didn’t really want to do. Something I didn’t have time to do. Something I was scared to do. I put it off and hoped it would be forgotten. Do I really want to keep letting comfort and fear win? Here’s what I’ve learned …
