    <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 has been asked a question about eating meat that has been sacrificed to idols. In his response to the church at Corinth, he keeps bringing up their “Superior knowledge” about the subject at hand. Jews would have God’s law concerning which food to eat and not eat, while the Gentiles didn’t have any laws and ate whatever they wanted. Paul is comparing the stronger believer to the weaker believer and he tells the stronger believer that can’t do whatever they want concerning eating this meat because it may cause the weaker believer to fall into sin! Then he really lowers the boom when he tells them that they should be showing God’s love to the weaker believer which is a unconditional love. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Paul tells the believers in Rome to be careful how they treat one another, especially when it comes to food they eat and what they drink. He says the stronger believers need to show some grace to the weaker believers and vice versa...Do not argue he says because the goal is unity, to be in harmony, and to honor the Lord in everything we eat, drink, or do. We have to be careful to not be a stumbling block! &lt;/p&gt;
