I believe that this is a challenge for us in our modern time -- that we would continue to trust and have faith in the Lord, that we would believe in the potency of the gospel to pierce any culture, any time, any period, and that it can break through any ideology or any idol that has been constructed by any society. And as we trust the Lord, as we pray to the Lord, as we share his story lovingly with the community that we're in, let us trust and believe that Jesus has many people in this city.

When there is opposition to the gospel of Jesus Christ, what is your response? What do you believe? (2 Minutes/350 Words)
When persecuted Paul continues on because he knows that God is his rock. He knows that God will be sure, steadfast, & faithful for His glory & Paul’s good. God is faithful just the same to us. Because of Christ’s life, death, & resurrection we have no separation from God! We know that He is always with us working for His glory & our good! Though life can be crazy & wild, God never leaves us. Where do you need to remember that you don’t need to be afraid because God is with you giving you strength & comfort? Where do you need to remember the faithfulness of God for His glory & your good?
Matthew Doering

Every ministry suffers times when they need the Lord's encouragements, even great preachers like Charles Haddon Spurgeon. Here are some quotes from Spurgeon taken for Zack Eswine's book "Spurgeon’s Sorrows: Realistic Hope for those who Suffer from Depression"...
“I am the subject of depressions of spirit so fearful that I hope none of you ever get to such extremes of wretchedness as I go to.” (p 15)
“I wonder every day that there are not more suicides, considering the troubles in this life.” (p 119)
“The Road to sorrow has been well trodden, it is the regular sheep track to heaven, and all the flock of God have had to pass along it.” (p 17)
Tony Merida gives some of "Spurgeon’s counsel to look to God’s promises, providence, and strength:
An ointment for every wound, a cordial for every faintness, a remedy for every disease. Blessed is he who is skilled in heavenly pharmacy and knows how to lay hold on the healing virtues of the promises of God! (“Obtaining Promises”)
To be cast down is often the best thing that could happen to us. (“Sweet Stimulants for the Fainting Soul”)
It is an unspeakable consolation that our Lord Jesus knows this experience. (“The Roots of Depression”)

Christ will not lose one of His sheep. This verse also tells us something about evangelism. Evangelism is not finding a newer or better method, or getting into the culture of men so they can understand, or politely philosophizing about the gospel. No, evangelism is proclaiming the true gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit so Jesus Christ can reach His people as they respond to Jesus Christ by faith. The gospel saves whoever responds to Christ by faith, but those who respond were numbered among Christ's sheep in the plan of God. Paul preached to all but he never expected all to respond. ~ Jack Arnold
Sometimes I recite to myself the comforting words of Hildebert of Lavardin: "God is over all things; outside all; within but not enclosed; without but not excluded; above but not raised up; below but not depressed; wholly above, presiding; wholly beneath, sustaining; wholly within, filling." This truth bears unending practical applications. He is here! He is under me! He is over me! He is inside me! But he is not shut in! God says, “Do not fear—keep going—I am with you!” ~ Kent Hughes
