The Give-upper

 Mother: Help. My son gives up when it gets hard.


Answer:

Tell him that this is a character issue. Having the right attitude builds character. If he gives up everytime it gets hard, he will never achieve anything in life, and he will never be a man. Life is difficult. Not just the things we love, but the things we hate doing as well. It is not going to be easy. Nothing is easy. But if he has diligence and hard work, he can do anything, go anywhere and be the person he was meant to be. He will go the distance and he will make it as long as he is on God's side. And if not, his life is basically doomed.

What probably should have been done is to first share with you the main reason for baptism. John 1:4-5 "John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5 Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, ...

Proverbs for the ministry

There is no glamour in full time ministry - it's all hard work, labour and toil and I love it. Ministry is when people use you, mock you, make fun of you, spit at you, push you around and hate you - that is true ministry.
