Politics is an uphill battle. The promotion of good government requires us to battle against our own nature. To allow each other our Rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness requires more than just leaving each other in peace; we must act. We must unselfishly protect each other.
To protect each other appropriately, we have to understand how to judge both our own behavior and the behavior of others. Here, in The Most Misunderstood Word in America, Dr. Robert Jeffress explains what such judgement involves.
In addition, we must overcome never ending discouragement. The battle with sin never ceases; we must always resist the urge to sin both within ourselves and in our neighbors. When we give up the battle, when we abandon each other to sin, we always lose some part of our liberty. Why is that important? Without liberty, we have less opportunity to share the Word of God with others. So here, in Slaying the Giant of Discouragement, Part 1, Dr. David Jeremiah provides Biblical advice on overcoming discouragement.

Excellent. I have may tapes I made from the Pilgrim radio network, including Dr. David Jeremiah. Dr. Robert Jeffress sermon was so apropos concerning (supposed) professed christians denying absolute truth.
Reblogged this on theconservativehillbilly and commented:
“battle against our own nature.” This is a powerful statement. I believe this is why there is such a rift between conservative Christian Americans, and liberal Americans. I am going to start using this term more often.:)

Heard most of slaying the giant of discouragement on the radio this morning. Great sermon – pointing to the Lord God directly through His Word = The Bible.
Thanks for the comment.
I have found that both Dr. Robert Jeffress and Dr. David Jeremiah have excellent insights.Jeffress has series, Twilight’s Last Gleaming, you may find of interest.
