It is impossible to be a follower of Christ while denying, disregarding, discrediting, and disbelieving the words of Christ.

The boss says that games in hand are no good unless you turn them into points. What he's getting at is that games in hand aren't much good unless you turn them into points.

Saturate your preaching with the gospel in the church, so that you people speak gospel in the world.

Therefore, when I look for a church, I look for the music that best fits me and the programs that best cater to me and my family. When I make plans for my life and career, it is about what works best for me and my family. When I consider the house I will live in, the car I will drive, the clothes I will wear, the way I will live, I will choose according to what is best for me. This is the version of Christianity that largely prevails in our culture. But it is not biblical Christianity.

Superficial religion consists of merely believing certain truths and doing certain things....such superficial religion is rampant in the world today.

If you claim to be a follower of Christ, I encourage you to consider your present commitment to a local church.

Give liberally. Go urgently. Live dangerously.
