The fallen world teaches man to have "self esteem." The Bible calls it "pride." However, the WORD of GOD says, "Pride goes before the fall." (Proverbs 16:18) His WORD also tells us to "die to self." (Romans 6:4)
The Church's Perseverance: the world is against GOD's church. (John 15:18) No wonder why the world has itself in the mess it's in! Wars and rumors of wars! (Matthew 24:6) Broken marriages if married at all; adulterers, fornicators, lascivious behaviors will be judged by GOD! (1 Corinthians 6:9) Greed, power hungry! (Mark 7:22) Drunkenness, addictions to alcohol, drugs, gambling! (Romans 13:13) Heinous murdering and crimes! (Revelation 21:8) "Wide is the road that leads to eternal hell in the Lake of Fire and many (if not most of mankind) that travel its path!" (Matthew 7:13)
Life is a road of perseverance! Because we all are of the fallen nature (Romans 3:23) we can't let our emotions run our lives or it will only become worse. However, those who know Jesus Christ as their savior allow Him in the Holy Spirit to guide our emotions (and not we ourselves.) When we do this, we love GOD. When we love our neighbor as ourselves (James 2:8) He (the Holy Spirit) assists our perseverance to endure the trials of this world!
Perseverance: Being a quadriplegic, the strength of Joni singing this song below was assisted by her loving husband having to push against her diaphragm in order for her to sing this song of the early settlers in America.
