Pride can ruin a good thing. Perry admits it was ruining his relationship with Shawna.

So often when we feel offended, we get defensive and power up. But in scripture we’re told, “If you’ve got it in you, get along with everybody”. Do we have it in us to get along with everybody?

It was an April evening of Perry’s sophomore year at Olivet. He was driving back to campus from his girlfriend’s house when he saw a farmer driving his tractor in his field and it made him think, “My life needs to change.”

Within days of being diagnosed with a brain tumor Shawna’s friend courageously shared she was choosing to praise God whether she was healed or not. Like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, we are not alone in the fire. It’s Jesus WITH US who gives us the courage to say, “Even if…I will praise God.”
