    I wonder how we would score if there were a test available that could reveal just how faithful & devout a Christian we really are - that really measured the level of our spirituality?

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK A.

    Joshua’s life reveals that success in old age is measured by faith and not sight, by what we have left for the next generation to complete, and by passing on a warning about the lessons he had learned.

    And now I am about to go the way of all the earth, and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one thing has failed of all the good things that the LORD your God promised concerning you; all have come to pass for you, not one of them has failed.

    You are God’s Masterpiece in Christ Jesus. This message is especially for any Christian trying to measure up and gain God’s favor rather than living in the approval that is his already in Christ.
