Reality Check Series

Contributed by Rick Duncan on Jun 29, 2005

One reason so many Christ-followers leave such a lousy legacy is because we wear masks. We need to learn to live with no masks. God wants me to be the real deal. My family and friends need me to be authentic. This is needed especially in the home.

Will they say that they love Jesus more because of me? Or will they love Jesus less because ...read more
