    <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>In Matthew 3 we are introduced to a freaky looking dude who lies in the wilderness and for food he eats locusts and wild honey. If he were alive today, John the Baptizer would be considered a homeless man and be an outcast to society. I doubt anyone would listen to his message today! I seriously doubt anyone would travel out of town to listen to him preach! But the time was right and John did exactly what he was born to do—prepare the way for the Messiah and that is what he did. He preached a message of repentance and baptized people who were obedient to the message. The power is not in the person but in the message and that message is Jesus!

  <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?!?!?!
