Today we had the honor to listen to James Duerr as he shared his remarkable life and all that God has been doing in it. We learned that James was raised in a church home, attended Boy Scouts, and had a Godly foundation established at an early age. God's grace and power is seen interwoven throughout James' story was we discover about his successes and struggles. James stresses the need for parents to raise their children well and impact their lives with the truths of God. We also are inspired to not quite or get soured when opportunities or things we hope for don't always work out. By God's grace we are able to authentically live out 2 Corinthians 4:8-10: We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
