Bill's life verse of many years, 1 Corinthians 15:58-Therefore, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your work is never in vain if it is in the Lord-has sustained him through times when he felt less than eager for doing the things of God in caring for the condition of the world around him. With background on the thinking of the apostle Paul in writing these words and sharing from his own experiences with leaning into this verse, Bill speaks to the way in which the verse is a regular reminder of the urgency to not give up and to continue to abound in all aspects of daily life. For every Christ-follower, this verse is the assurance that any effort expended to advance the purposes of God in this world is never in vain.
