     | 26,210 views

    What is the secret to real Christian living? Not how much you know; great leadership ability; personal charisma; or even a winning, positive attitude. The real key to Christian living is summed up in 2 words: FOLLOW ME.

    CASUAL FAITH OR COMMITTED FAITH? Mark 8:34, If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself & take up his cross & follow me.

    It takes work to give up something for Lent, but before you can give up anything for God, first you have to get up and decide to go to work for Him. Before you can do the Lenten "give-up", you have to get up!
