Endurance
This is no time for ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure. (Winston Churchill, World War II British Prime Minister)
Churchill spoke these words in a time of great distress and danger in Europe. It took all that England had to offer along with other Allied nations to restore peace. But in 21st century America, though we may seem to be at ease and comfortable, there are dangers that still need to be addressed with a war-like effort to overcome crime, disease, and poverty.
Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us (Hebrews 12:1).
We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need (Colossians 1:11).
