  3. "Giving It A Try" Leaves The Back Door Open To Exceptions And Excuses • We place numerous conditions, qualifications, and reservations in the "fine print" of our "commitment.“ • We are endlessly inventive with our ifs, ands, and buts, our maybes, our yes buts. • Exodus 3:13; 4:1- 10 • Exodus 4:11

  4. Commitment Simply Says, "This Is The Way It's Going To Be" • We have been infected with a basic mentality that says -- no matter what the problem -- "This is happening to me; there is nothing I can do about it.“ • Luke 13:24 • Philippians 1:27 • 1 Samuel 17:32-37 • We need to burn some bridges behind us, to burn some ships on the beach. • John 2:23-25 • John 14:1 • James 4:13-14 • Matthew 26:39 • 2 Corinthians 8:8; 10-11; 9:1-5; 8 • 2 Peter 2:21- 22 • 2 Corinthians 9:7- 8 • Just Do It! • 1 Peter 4:19 • “The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.”
