When You Feel Like Quitting (3 of 9)
Series: Braveheart

Daniel 7:25
Well, my favorite movie character in all the movies is a guy named Rocky Balboa, the Italian Stallion. I just love Rocky. And I am so excited because Christmas he's coming out with ''Rocky VI'' (yeah). It's amazing. Rocky is sixty. Sylvester Stallone is sixty years old. I've been told that the plot of this movie is that Rocky gets in this fight with his orthopedic surgeon over a botched hip replacement (laughter). Not really!

Maybe you're here today on your marriage. You've got your towel in your hand. You're ready to quit. You're ready to throw it in. Maybe it's on your business. Maybe you're watching on television, and you're a pastor, and things are tough and difficult, and you've got the towel in your hand. You got your resignation letter typed up. You're ready to quit. As Jerry Falwell has said, ''It's always too early to quit.'' And God wants to encourage our hearts as we study ''Br ...
