In this message, the preacher reflects on Paul’s declaration in 2 Timothy 4—“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith”—and builds a stirring call to endurance, reminding listeners that the only true “time to quit” is when we cross the finish line into eternity. Drawing from Paul’s transformation from persecutor to apostle, the spiritual warfare believers face, the midnight praise of Paul and Silas, and the hope of the third heaven, he urges Christians not to lay down their weapons in discouragement but to stand, pray, and continue. Through vivid stories—like the field preacher who preached until his candle burned out and the childhood memory of longing for home until his family arrived—the sermon anchors the truth that Christ will come, and until then, there is no quitting place for God’s people.
