The Hill Difficulty

Though the Christian journey often contains unique moments of joy and closeness to God, day to day life can challenge a believer's zeal, joy, and sense of purpose. After his powerful arrival at the cross, Christian's journey brings him into contact with people who do not share the same gospel-centered focus that he has. As we turn our attention to this phase in Christian's pilgrimage, we will take note of several dangers and pitfalls that threaten to undermine believers in their spiritual journey.
