I Quit(Youtube)

Hi my name is Pastor Scott Rowe. If you want more videos that inspire you then hit the subscribe button and hit the bell so you will be notified every time I post a new video.

I want to talk to you about quitting.

There was a conversation between two mega-church Pastors. One said early on that he wanted to quit. People would lie to him. Slander and gossip about him behind His back. Even a local newspaper wrote an article on him demeaning his character. He said that he didn’t ask for this and he didn’t need this. Many times he’d preach places on fire but inside he just wanted to quit. It came to the point where it wasn’t worth what it was costing him anymore

He then remembers after church service and the fellowship, after many people left and the music died down, that there was a woman there who stayed there for hours after the service wanting to talk to him. He was hoping she would give up and leave. He finally approached her. She was this tiny woman and she said Pastor, i’ve been in the hospital. She said I was pregnant in my fallopian tubes and the baby died in my tubes and I was carrying around a dead baby and the toxicity from the baby almost killed me.

She said the only thing that kept me alive was the words that would say, the hope that you would share, and the love that you have shown. If you haven’t been doing that for me and helping me to “keep on keeping on” I would of died. Then she looked at me and said “It’s for us”. It’s not for them. It’s for us!

WE

We all face times of discouragement. Times when we just want to quit and give up. Where enough is enough! We get tired and worn down and don’t feel like we can go on anymore. We’ve been lied to one too many times. We’ve been betrayed, beaten down, and broken for far too long. We suffer with a sickness or physical ailment that seems uncurable and never-ending.

Former President Theodore Roosevelt said....

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

God says a lot about perseverance, not giving up in our struggles, and keeping on!

Matthew 24:13 says... “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” (Matt. 24:13).
