Down but not out

Hey DWC, I know this was posted a month ago, but wanted to let you know I just went through that myself in 09. It was the hardest thing and the only thing I credit to my redemption is Jesus. When this all happened, I didn't really feel I had much hope for the future or that things would get better, but slowly but surely they did.

I'll definitely pray for everyone involved. Just stand strong, and keep your hope in Him. 2010 will be a better year for ya, bud!

Keep it up.

Hey guys, just wanted to share with you what we talked about in church today:

The preacher was drawing reference to the promised land of the old testament, and how today's promised land is a perfect relationship with God the father. If you'll recall, the two souls who made it all the way to the promised land wound up having to fight to stay there. In today's terms, Satan throws all sorts of troubles at us. Divorce is our battle against the walls of Jericho. Also, financial troubles are our battle. And sickness, and so on.

The point I'm trying to make is that even when things are great, we still have a battle against Satan to fight. Too often I personally feel that, "Oh, man, I just beat that evil, everything's going to be great now," and something else will come along and kick me in the teeth. It's not always easy, but it's right to stand back up and fight for your God.

The preacher also made note of the fact that our ammunition in the battle against evil is our understanding of what the scripture tells us. Without knowing how to draw reference to the bible, we feel like a one legged man in a butt-whooping contest. But with the knowledge that God has laid out for us in the scripture, we can defeat any evil.

Keep up the good work and good faith, and God bless you.
