* “Yet he has no root IN HIMSELF, but endures only for a while…..”

* Having no root in himself refers to the habits of life that make a person successful.

* Discipline and diligence are the key.

* The person who experiences conviction but has no commitment will fall away.

* The minute it gets hard they will quit.

* In our book Living Among Lions we talk about three things:

* 1) Conviction that transforms my heart.

* 2) Commitments that transform my lifestyle.

* 3) Courage that transforms my world.

* Kids need to work on commitment otherwise they’ll become rocky soil where nothing can grow.
