is it time to quit?

is it time to quit?

One of the values of creativecommunity.tv is authenticity. More than ‘keeping it real’, this means we’re creating a culture where people can be honest about doubts, fears, struggles, and pain. Life can be difficult and ‘nod-your-head’, ‘say amen’, and ‘keep quiet if you’re struggling faith’ leaves many feeling a disconnect from Jesus.

We all have friends and family members who started right, believed God’s Word, obeyed his commandments, lived a life of worship and devotion, and then “something” happened.

That “something” is different for each person: an issue at work, relationship, temptation, or situation outside of their control. “Something” happened and it stunted their spiritual growth and now it’s keeping them from an intimate relationship with Jesus.

Even Jesus’ disciples experienced situations that caused them to struggle in their faith. In John chapter 6, with his disciples doubting the validity of his message, Jesus gave them an opportunity to quit following him and go back to living their own way. But Peter’s response shows us how to overcome when we’re facing doubt: “Where would we go, you alone have the words of eternal life.”

The next time that you’re facing “something”, go ahead and quit. Quit the lie that you’re different and flawed just because your faith isn’t always secure. “In your weakness His strength is made perfect.”
