    When God is about to do significant things for you or through you, you’ll face significant opposition. Every door that God will open for you won’t come that easy; it will bring an avalanche of spiritual attack with it.

    Rugged Individualism? Rugged Surrender!

    Contributed by Larry Brincefield on Mar 10, 2004
    based on 36 ratings
     | 3,007 views

    "Rugged Individualism" is thinking that we need to rely on ourselves. But this can lead to trouble, as the Israelites (and the Corinthians, and people today) indicate. Instead, we should pursue "rugged surrender".

    Live Until You Die, Die Until You Live

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 23, 2009
    based on 15 ratings
     | 8,360 views

    We admire those who pursue life goals as long as they can; but our calling is to die to self. It will mean a change of values and of attitudes, but it will give us true life.

    I’m pretty sure that we can make a case for living until we die. It would not take a lot of effort to convince one another that we can approach life with gusto, squeezing every ounce of juice out. There’s a strong compulsion in us to extract all the value and the vitality we can get out from ...read more
