Building Endurance

"Lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely.." Hebrews 12:2
How do you build spiritual endurance? Part of the answer is to carry no more than you need. Hebrews says that we are carrying around sin that weighs us down. So, drop it or you will drop out of the race. Here is the skit with Bob Newhart that I mentioned on Sunday.





Maybe it's not the most sensitive advice but sometimes we need to "stop it" in order to "drop it." After all, you don't want to live your life weighed down. That sounds unpleasant.
Sometimes we need more such as the power of God and supportive relationships. In the end, do whatever you can to "drop it."

Of course, the second strategy for building spiritual endurance is focusing. To hear the rest message go to our website.
