Your Victory Becomes Their Foundation by Randy Gladden
Remaining steadfast under pressure so the next generation can advance. Most of us think endurance is measured by how long we can keep moving. We picture the runner putting one foot in front of the other, refusing to quit until the finish line is reached. That is certainly part of it. But when Hebrews tells us to "run with endurance the race that lies before us." The word translated endurance—hypomone—reveals another dimension. It is not merely persistence. It is steadfastness under pressure. Endurance is not only the consistency to keep advancing. It is also the resolve to refuse to be pushed backward. Sometimes the greatest challenge is not taking new territory, but holding your confidence in what God has said, continuing to govern what He has given you, and refusing to surrender victories already gained.

Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

He gave the law for one purpose: that you would have the knowledge of sin and recognize your need for a Savior. Without the law, there would be no sin (Rom. 4:15). For example, if there is no law on how fast you can drive on a particular road, that is, if there is no speed limit, the state trooper cannot stop you and give you a ticket for speeding. In simple terms, no law equals no sin. No recognition of sin equals no need for a Savior!
The Bible Is Still Breathing Life into Hearts by Carol McLeod
There are some books that enjoy a season of popularity and then quietly fade into history. Their message captures the attention of one generation, only to be forgotten by the next. Trends come and go. Authors rise and fall. Best-seller lists are constantly changing. And then there is what everyone knows is my favorite book, the B-I-B-L-E, Bible. Year after year, decade after decade, century after century, God's Word remains the best-selling book in the world. Every year, millions upon millions of copies find their way into eager hands. In America alone, millions of Bibles are purchased annually—even though the average household already owns several copies. Isn't that remarkable?
