Sometimes I feel like Rocky Balboa

I relate to the Rocky image when it comes to ministry in the city. I'm not very smart and I'm pretty beat up. But as Rocky says, "It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward. You've got to be willing to take the hit." Here's a great clip.

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms". Ephesians 6:12
