Now I got all my chainsaws up and running the first priority is keeping those saws sharp! First good advice – Keep it out of the dirt. I have often thought the same truth goes for our Christian life. A lot of people’s lives go bad by hitting the dirt. The dirt can make good people lose their sharpness and go forever bad!

But God can make us strong so we are not hurt by the dirt.

"And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?" (1 Peter 3:13)

"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." (1 John 4:4)

You need to define what you are calling "sharp" and "dirt".

Human beings are not chain saws.
