Winston Churchill's first
statement as prime minister to
the House of Commons, May 13,
1940, was this: "I have
nothing to offer but blood,
toil, tears, and sweat."
Those were hard times.
Determined times. Disciplined
times. Patriotic times. Such
harsh times spawned men and
women of character who
understood the words Churchill
used - constancy,
determination, faithfulness,
durability. . . no matter
the sacrifice or cost. As
Churchill's words ring in our
ears, we find that they actually
echo what the apostle Paul wrote
nineteen centuries earlier.
Therefore my beloved
brethren, be steadfast,
immovable, always abounding in
the work of the Lord, knowing
that your toil is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:58
As believers today, we must
renew that same spirit of
determination and commitment to
faithfulness, to constancy, to
endurance - no matter how somber
the road or how grievous the
cost. We must restore the
passion of Paul as we march into
the twenty-first century
"steadfast, immovable,
always abounding in the work of
the Lord."
