When I was growing up there was a commercial for Sure deodorant and their slogan was raise your hand if you are sure. As I was preparing for bed on tonight the HS brought this to my memory!

In a matter of seconds the fire would be backing burning fierce. And sometimes our faith is just like my grandfather's fire, extremely hot and it slowly fizzles out. So what cause our faith to stall out during those critical times? Well many things! We can become discouraged when we don't see the manifestations of God's promise come to pass on our time watch.
