When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him. en-us episodic We at GRINDIT want to encourage people to keep going, to keep grinding, when life gets hard. Quitting is not an option!

He wasn't having pleasant memories, instead he was telling this church who is full of believers who think they are so mature, so wise, and have so many gifts of the Spirit, how they are acting like children the way they are acting toward one another. They are divided, certain ones eat all the food, drink all the wine, they brag a lot, some think they are higher than others, and Paul says, "Y'all need to grow up, act mature, and love one another.

Why does he say this? From the very beginning of the letter, Paul has reminded the church at Ephesus that all our blessings, everything we have, the right standing we have with God the Father, all comes through Jesus. He has been talking about the unity we have and how we should throw off the desires of the flesh and continue to strive for maturity in Christ and unity. He breaks down the family unit describing how to keep unity because it creates strength. When we get our eyes off Jesus and onto our situations, onto ourselves, and we try to handle things ourselves, we'll discover quickly that we cannot and we really do need one another. Why? Because we encourage one another to stay focused on Jesus...where we ALL get our strength from. </p> strength, strong, unity, union, Lord, Jesus, mature, maturity Paul says in vs10 to "Be strong in the Lord."
