This past weekend Pastor Stine preached on ‘Health Insurance’, an appropriate topic for what I shared about my own battles. Hanging in there and enduring is a tough task. Why didn’t God just allow Jesus to come, die, and be resurrected? Why did He have to spend 33 years on this earth? Why those hours in agony on the cross? Why three days in the tomb? Why over two millenia before He comes back again? Our race is not a sprint, but a marathon. Patient endurance is a characteristic of God, and should be the mark of a Spirit-filled believer.

What would you add to the message on endurance?
