Tolkiens classic The Lord of the Rings trilogy came to life in recent years on film. In thesecond epic story, the hero, Frodo, reached a point of despair and wearily confided to hisfriend, I cant do this, Sam. As a good friend, Sam gave a rousing speech: Its like in the

great stories . . . . Full of darkness and danger they were. . . . Folk in those stories had lotsof chances of turning back, only they didnt. They kept going, because they were holding onto something. Which prompted Frodo to ask: What are we holding on to, Sam?

Its a significant question, one that we all need to ask ourselves. Living in a fallen, brokenworld, its no wonder that sometimes we feel overwhelmed by the powers of darkness. Whenwe are at the point of despair, ready to throw in the towel, we do well to follow Pauls adviceto Timothy: Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life(1 Tim. 6:12).

In lifes battles, lets hold on to the fact that good will triumph over evil in the end, that one

day we will see our Master and Leader face-to-face, and we will reign with Him forever. Youcan be part of this great story, knowing that if you have trusted Jesus for salvation you areguaranteed a victorious ending!

Though weak and helpless in lifes fray,Gods mighty power shall be my stay;

Without, within, He gives to meThe strength to gain the victory.D. De Haan

The trials of earth are small compared with the triumphs of heaven. (Joseph Stowell)

I am looking forward to being back this Sunday to share with our friends at Fifth Avenue. My family has been enjoying a few days together the past few days. Iwant to thank Dave for filling in this past Sunday. I was glad to hear that many ofyou did not allow a little heat in the building to keep you from worshipping yourGod.

Cya Sunday,

Brad, Eph. 3:20-21
