When life's never ending struggles challenge your faith and ability to persevere, how do you press onward? God's Scripture provides examples and guidance on how you can find opportunity in your difficulty.

Arguments, debates, and philosophy are not what turn people's hearts toward Christ- changed lives do. The only way you can make a difference is if there is a difference in the way you live your life.

It is easy to proclaim Christ is Lord when you are not being ridiculed or persecuted, but when the crushing times come can your faith sustain the pressure and stresses that a life lead by Christ naturally brings?

One of the differences between a good and great church is the exuberance and passion of the people that are a part of it. People who are passionate about what the Lord has done for them positively influence the community surrounding them.
