We need to take hold of the Eternal Life that we are called to.
Most of us, unless we are called to a recluse Prayer Ministry, live in the
World System every day. This happens even if we are involved in some kind of
Christian Ministry. Because of the pressures of the World system we need to be
reminded to take hold of the Eternal Life that we are called to live.
