We had an ok night last night. We were competing with several other things so we only had 11 students, but God knew who was going to be there and had ordained last night specifically for them. We read over 2 Corinthians 11 where Paul tells us everything He has went through for the sake of the gospel. It really is amazing when you think about what all he endured.

• 5 times 39 lashings
• beaten three times with rods
• stoned
• shipwrecked three times
• A night and a day adrift in the sea
• danger of waters
• danger of robbers
• danger of his own people
• danger of Gentiles
• danger of wilderness
• danger of false Christians
• no sleep
• no food
• no clothes

Still with all of these constant horrible experiences, Paul didn't move. He stood firm in His faith. If you look at us, we are moved by the smallest breeze. Popularity, stress, work, family, friends are all things that we will compromise our faith for. We need to stand on the rock of Christ and not be moved. Here are some things to practice so you will be able to be stronger in your faith.

1. Surround yourself with people who love Jesus and try to live a lifestyle for His glory.
2. Follow the Spirit's guidance.
3. Be humble. Consider others better than yourself.
4. Share your faith.
5. Don't be ashamed of the very blood that was shed to save you from something you deserve.
