13: Episode 13 - Keep Striving

You play an important role in the body of Christ – His church. To say otherwise is to be dismissive of both His own valuation of your life and sacrifice on your behalf, but also lacking in a true acceptance of the fact that as a Christian your life is not your own. As Christians we have offered our lives in service to Him, and an important part of that continuing service is to fellow Christians. As we age, those of us who are Christians accumulate the pains of the losses which broken Christian lives bring. It is important that you do your part in both encouraging Christians to continue to move forward, and to personally strive in exercising your faith to grow and mature in Christ so that we do not fail ourselves.
