Don't Quit
Finishing what you start.
Endurance for the long haul.
The big idea
Faith isn't a sprint — it's a race you finish by not giving up.
What does “Don't Quit” walk through?
Finish the Race
2 Timothy 4:7 · KJV
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
In plain English
I fought a good fight. I finished the race. I kept the faith.
The Goal Is Finishing
You don't have to be first. You have to keep going.
Run with Endurance
Hebrews 12:1 · KJV
Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
In plain English
Drop the weights. Drop the sin that keeps tripping you. Run the race set in front of you — patiently.
Drop the Weight
Lay down what slows you, and run the race set before you.
Pray
Lord, when I want to quit, give me strength to keep going. Amen.
Write it down
What do you need endurance to keep going in?
You finished: Don't Quit
Don't quit on a hard day. Keep running.
