I believe that Paul, between all the beatings, being chased out of towns, and the many early conflicts of the growing church must have felt the need to give up. The drive to persist in the midst of despair is hard, but Paul held onto the idea that the Kingdom is coming that it is close. He held onto the gospel which is filled with hope. This kept him pushing, fighting, and doing the work he was called to do. TCU Baseball 2013 - The Grind youtube/watch?v=MNL_DAI19_I Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:10-18 Are you giving all you got?
