    <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;If you want to share the gospel with someone, and you should want to share it with as many people as possible, then you have to find common ground with the person or people. Paul says when he is with the weak, he is weak; when he is with the Jews, he lives as a Jew; when he is with Gentiles, he lives as a Gentile. He isn’t saying to cross the line into sin with the people you are trying to reach, but he is saying, “Find some common ground.” The only way to do that is hang out with someone and get to know them, their likes and dislikes, and when you discover something you have in common, dive deep into that subject and find a way to work Jesus into the congregation! &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Paul tells the church at Corinth the power is in the cross of Christ. He says to the Greeks the cross is foolish and they refuse to believe while to the Jews, the cross is foolishness and they seek a sign to prove that it is true. This is nothing new for this was going on when Jesus was there among them performing miracles. There are so many people today trying to gain power, doing whatever they can to climb the ladder to get power. All they have to do is look to the cross and the gospel yet, they reject it. Sure they will climb the ladder and have power, even a lot of money, but like Jesus said, “What is your soul worth? You can gain the whole world and lose your soul.” Then what? When we take our last breath, none of that power will help us. When we cross into eternity, the only thing that will matter is Jesus and whether we had a relationship with him or not. &lt;/p&gt;
