Fighting the Battle

March 3, 2010

“Churches that never deal with the real fight that following {Jesus} requires often grow large but mostly with small Christians. … Your leaders, all of them, are imperfect, but you will need them to more effectively fight the real battle, to resist compromise and deception, and to enjoy your blessings without the spirit of entitlement corrupting your gratitude. Substantial victory is available in this life but only with struggles that remain until heaven.”

~ Dr. Larry Crabb in 66 Love Letters: A Conversation with God that Invites You into His Story ©2009
