As Deitrich Bonhoeffer said, “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.”
When you shared this at the Word leader’s meeting we were kind of wondering why Satan doesn’t “get it” and keeps trying. But you hit it here–most American Christians do give up, retreat, and stop fighting the “good fight.” Instead they fight over silly rules and traditions like which type of worship music to have, or whether you can say “crap” or not.

I was laughing quite a bit reading this book, but especially enjoyed Hoffman’s take on college:

“Usually when you ask somebody in college why they are there, they’ll tell you it’s to get an education. The truth of it is, they are there to get the degree so that they can get ahead in the rat race. Too many college radicals are two-timing punks. The only reason you should be in college is to destroy it.”

“If you know when the last bus left, just tell the driver you’ve been stranded there for eight hours and you left your kid sleeping on the other bus.”

Reminds me of 2Cor4:16-18
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

I have actually had to set aside fun time for my kids - or I would fuss and work on my projects and goals all the day long. Believe it or not - at first I dreaded that time - now I am looking forward to it. A baby step still - yet in the right direction.

God honors a willing and teachable heart.
