Hang in the battle...

Acts 14:21-22
After proclaiming the Message and establishing a strong core of disciples, Paul & Barnabas retraced their steps, putting muscle and sinew in the lives of the disciples, urging them to stick with what they had begun to believe and not quit, making it clear to them that it wouldn't be easy: "Anyone signing up for the kingdom of God has to go through plenty of hard times."
