GOODSOLDIERENDURINGHARDNESS: IT TAKES NERVE AND A SENSE OF THE MOMENT

WHAT DOES THE BLOG NAME MEAN?

2 Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

We cannot avoid the affairs of life mentioned in Verse 4. But, we must be very sure that we do not become entangled in them. We must, through Christ and uncommon sense, master the affairs of life.

Hardness in Verse 3 is what we today call "hard times". So, good soldiers simply endure. Millions of saints and sinners have survived hard times before us. Have we learned from them, or will we repeat all the dumb choices? Hmmmmmmm

IT TAKES NERVE AND A SENSE OF THE MOMENT

Some opportunities come once in a lifetime. The choir director could have picked a more politically correct piece to sing in a public place, but he and his choir went straight to the message needed.

Quote from the video post on YouTube

It took all of us by surprise while waiting on a maintenence check to be performed on the aircraft. Best surprise ever!! I'm bless and glad to be there live to see this. OMG! ::: Thanks to Indiana Wesleyan University Chorale and by the way I love Indy and their people. By the way Happy Birthday Todd Guy.
