As a young teen, I loved to read books from the “Choose Your Own Adventure” series. In the first couple of pages a story would be set up – for example you are going on a hike with your cousins and it begins to storm. But by the end of page three the reader comes to a critical point in the story

**Christ is **
Alive
He is our God
We should worship him
He should be our icon
He should be the one we weep for not man

Listen to his music
Come from far and wide to worship him
We need to praise God not man
The way of life not death
With us in spirit and truth
Christ love

Three pastors went to the pastor’s convention and were all sharing one room. The first pastor said, “Let’s confess our secret vices one to another. I’ll start
