ENDURING HARDSHIP; HELPING OTHERS

Cold Weather; Being Warmed

 

Cold weather, warmth and suffering hardship.

 

TO THINK ABOUT...

Paul endured many hardships for Christ. What hardships are you willing to endure? Have you ever wished you were a "spiritual giant" who had the ability to endure great hardships, in order to accomplish great things for Christ?

When others are experiencing hardships, how do you respond? Do you simply tell them to "have a nice day," or do you have an obligation to do more than that? James has much to say about the relationship between what is in a person's heart ("faith") and the actions that are visible in his life ("works"). You may wish to read the book of James and think about what it says.

The topic of "Helping Others" covers a wide range of issues. You may wish to look for other Scripture passages that focus on some of them.
