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!

If any of you...then...and he gives a solution to each one. He had just said we should be patient waiting for the Lord’s return and now he says while we wait, act like this. One thing James mentions specifically is the sick should call for the elders of the church to pray for them and they will be healed by their prayer in faith because the Lord will heal them! We either believe that or we don’t and the way most churches operate today, we don’t! God hasn’t changed at all so what’s the problem? We are. We want to be in control and as long as we are in control, God cannot work. It’s been James’ message from the beginning...Seek God and His wisdom, and let Him have control. unity, unify, one, pray, sick, elders, righteous, fervent, control, healing, wisdom James has been hammering the rich and addressing the poor but at the end of his letter he is pulling them all together and saying, “We are one and it’s time to act like it.” Then he goes through a series of “You” questions...

It separates us from God! 31:05 no Let's just admit it...sin is fun...at least for the most part. Gratifying our flesh feels great and we are quick to do so...unfortunately. But we don't have to and we strive not to! Paul says we are to not yield our bodies as instruments of sin but righteousness. We actually have a choice! Sin is born out of temptations that come from a desire within ourselves. We can stop it dead in its tracks but far too often we choose to carry the temptation out and sin. We use our body as an instrument to sin instead of righteousness. In fact, Paul says we are a slave to whichever we choose! So choose to do what is right!

Can people tell we follow Jesus by the way we live? 34:12 no In the very beginning, after Paul tells his readers that he is the author of the letter to the church in Rome, he establishes his authority as an apostle, he lets us know where his authority comes from and he immediately shifts the focus to Jesus. After giving his readers a short run down as to what Jesus did and what the good news is all about, Paul tells the Gentiles at the church in Rome that they have been called by God and do belong to Him because they heard the message of the gospel and were obedient which brings glory to God. Our lives as God’s chosen people, are to bring Him glory and we should strive to be holy as God is holy. righteous, righteousness, standard, plumb line, weight, construction, truth, true In the very beginning, after Paul tells his readers that he is the author of the letter to the church in Rome, he establishes his authority as an apostle, he lets us know where his authority comes from and he immediately shifts the focus to Jesus.
