    The cell phone industry is one of the most highly competitive businesses in the marketing world. In the U.S., that competition is extreme.

    Living a successful Christian life isn't complicated nor does living a life that pleases God does not have to be complex. Christ simplified or summarized what it takes into two steps which if we follow will lead us to living a successful Christian life.
