    <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>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Paul mentions Timothy in the first verse of 2 Corinthians meaning he was helping Paul write this letter, probably because Paul had bad eyesight and his letters are very large and perhaps hard to read. We learned from 1 Corinthians that Timothy would be sent to Corinth to help guide them through some troublesome times within the congregation. They have many issues and Paul tells them to welcome Timothy as they would welcome himself and to not intimidate him. But despite being a young man who seems to be shy, Timothy is brave and confronts the congregation about their sin and tries to correct their sinful behavior. Toward the end of Paul’s ministry, Timothy will end up being a leader in the church at Ephesus continuing the work of the Lord which all started from seeing the faith of his mother and grandmother.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The early church didn’t have multiple copies of the bible to pick up and read but they did have the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, as Jesus said in John 14, leads to all truth. In other words, the Holy Spirit comes from God, who is truth, and therefore will lead us in truth. Jesus said he is the truth in John 14:6. Some people in the church at Ephesus were following truth but at some point, they quit and started following demons. Paul is writing to Timothy, a young man, to stay in Ephesus and fight the enemy that is teaching false doctrine that comes from demons and is leading people away from the truth, away from Jesus. He tells Timothy that of he teaches the church the truth, he will be nourished by his faith and his teaching, which is all about Jesus. Who do you receive your nourishment from? The truth? Or false doctrines taught by demons? Does what you learn and teach line up with the truth of God’s word? If not, you’re being fed lies by demons and it is leading you away from Jesus!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
