Don’t quit. Don’t give up. Don’t give in. These are the messages we need to hear from our brothers and sisters in Christ.  While there are times we need help sorting things out, what we need most is the courage and endurance to simply do what we know is right in the face of consistent and sometimes overwhelming opposition.

Stand firm in it. With that simple command, Peter concludes and summarizes this book of the Bible. Stand firm in the true grace of God. Don’t quit. Hang in there. Stay standing. Keep your feet firmly planted.
