Don't Throw In The Towel

Contributed by Greg Carr on Feb 10, 2011

Lately, I have been hearing how the enemy has been picking on people in our church. When the enemy attacks you or your family or some aspect of your life, it might be easy to give up and let him have the victory but that is not what we are supposed to do.

And open my heart so I may receive all that You want me to receive. AMEN Have you ever felt like throwing in the towel? Do you know what it means to ...read more

Joseph was let down by his family, by a woman he would not be tempted by and by a man he helped. He may have been tempted to see all this as being let down by God, but he didn't. He remained faithful and God raised him up and raised the nation that gave Jesus to you and me.
