Never Give in!

Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never- in nothing, great or small, large or petty- never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
- Winston Churchill (Oct 29, 1941)

In probably his most famous speech, Winston Churchill gave us these words. They are good words, but they sound vaguely familiar . . .

So do not lose the courage that you had in the past. It has a great reward. You must hold on, so you can do what God wants and receive what he has promised.
- Romans 10:35-36 (ICB)

But the Message version adds this in verse 39:

But we're not quitters who lose out. Oh, no! We'll stay with it and survive, trusting all the way.

That's what I'm talking about! We're in this for the long haul, because we know what the outcome is going to be. When the enemy comes against you to force you or bully you- just say "NO!" Trust me, he'll cower and flee from you.
