                THE GOOD FIGHT

     II Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course,
I have kept the faith: 

     Faith  is sometimes described as  something similar  to a pry bar, by
which we  can  procure things from God, such as a new car, a better job, or
 more  finances.  The list would  be  endless.  

     The real meaning of faith is "Dedication", or "Commitment to God".  

     Peter  and  James  each  referred  to  the "trial"  or  "trying" of our
faith.   These  words equal our modern word for a "sworn  statement"--
"Documenting".

     The  crucial part of the Christian  life  is that  of maintaining our
"commitment" or  "dedication" to God.  

     Getting a new car, a better job, or any  of those  things  are not
essential to our  life  in Jesus.   

     MAINTAINING TRUST IN, AND OBEDIENCE TO GOD IS VERY ESSENTIAL.

     When  trusting Jesus for the well being  of your soul becomes difficult,
don't pray for  less trials-- pray for more strength from Him.   

     Fight the good fight of Faith (Commitment to God)
