    <description>Let's face it...life sometimes is hard and can just suck. 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.

  <description>What put Paul down on his knees before God? No, not when he was thrown from his horse on the road to Damascus, but when he took the time to consider the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth chose him to carry the message of the gospel to the Jews and the Gentiles. He was humbled because he knew where he once was and the life he was living, going from house to house, persecuting those who were following Jesus. Now he is a follower of Jesus himself, he has risked his life to spread the message of Jesus to the world, and soon he will be in heaven with Jesus because he will be put to death for his faith. Paul wants everyone to know the love the Father has for them. Do you?

  <description>It’s all about the message. The messenger has nothing to do with anything. John the Baptizer is a perfect example. Here’s a guy who was living in the desert, he dressed in camel’s hair, and for food he ate locusts and wild honey. You know the guy never shaved so he had to have long hair and a long beard which would catch the carcasses of those locusts and wild honey would just matte it all up. That’s how people make dreads so maybe John had dreads…who knows, but what I do know this was one nasty, stinky dude. If he took a bath at all it would be when he baptized people in the Jordon River but even then, the Jordan River has dirty water! Yet God used this guy to let the whole world know the Messiah is here and the kingdom of God is at hand. The message can come from anybody or anything but the message never changes: the gospel. The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus is the message and there is so much power in the name of Jesus! Are you sharing the message with others? If not, WHY NOT?!?!?!
