    I don't know about you, but Most people like friends who are actually interested in them, and I can say with confidence...there is no one more interested in you than God! Far to many aren't used to hearing themselves saying...God loves me!

    We preachers are always telling Christians they are to glorify God.

    Many times we do not make it clear how they are to glorify God in their bodies, because we assume they know some things they do not know.
