today on Summit Life with J.D. Greer.

Paul says when you get your mind around the height and the depth and the length and the

breadth of God's love, then the spirit fills you.

You can cope with life's difficulties. That's a much better way to deal with life's difficulties.

That's a much better way to deal with life problems

and getting jacked up on Grandpa's old cough medicine, isn't it? Welcome to Summit Life, The Bible Teaching Ministry of Pastor Jide Greer. I'm your host Molly Bitevich. Now there's no doubt that we'll all have

hard days. In fact, sometimes hard seasons. So when life is inevitably difficult,

where do you turn for comfort? Some people lean on

alcohol or sex, others turn to more subtle crutches like binging TV shows or

overeating, but no matter what form our vices take, they're never really going to fill us the way

we want them to, and they most certainly won't remove the difficulties. So today,

Pastor J.D. reveals the only true cure for our broken and hurting hearts.

It's part of our study in Ephesians called Mystery and Clarity

and Pastor JD titled this message, Life is War.

If you are going to grow with God, it's not going to happen naturally.

You've got to intend to do it.

You've got to choose to do it.

If you're going to grow with your family, you

got to choose to do that. You don't just have extra time laying around to figure out how

to do that. It's like your budget. You're going to tithe, you don't wait to

how much money you have at the end of the month, you do it at the beginning.

You see what I'm getting at?
