As you consider Christianity, I want you to think about this …

You could safely give God everything you have … all of your talents and all of your stuff …

And … in life’s final assessment … you would come out far ahead of those who kept everything for themselves …

Humility puts our self-image in perspective …

I am flattered by the wife God chose for me … She is amazing!

Churches consist of both a shepherd and a flock …

In some, the flock is kept mostly as pets, producing neither mutton nor wool …

They are never put at risk for the kingdom …

If you believe in Christianity …

You will practice Christianity …
