Perseverance is an essential component to the spiritual discipline of faithfulness. God has called us to be light. Let us shine as bright lights in a dark world and hold out the word of life for others to see and read! What is clear is that both in our character and conduct we should be pure, while at the same time we are placed in a hostile world, that will test us! What are we to do? Pastor Steven says we should: Persevere.
