“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” Philippians 2.10
Mike Benson, Editor
WE ARE ALL going to make house payments, and we are all going to try to raise our kids, and we are all going to do the mundane stuff that life just includes…
What are you going to do that is great for eternity?
What are you going to do that is great for the kingdom of God?
What are you going to do that is going to make you feel proud when you stand before your Savior someday with some calluses on your hands saying I was a player?
What are you going to do? Aubrey Malphurs, Appendix B, “Developing a Vision for Ministry,” 216
“…So they said, ‘Let us rise up and build.’ Then they set their hands to do this good work.” Nehemiah 2:18b
Have a wonderful day!
