Few things in life are worth giving everything to, but the gospel is certainly one of them.

We are called to a mission whose results will outlast every other earthly achievement.

Spiritual Question of the Day:

How many times would you unsuccessfully invite someone to church before giving up?

C. Until they say yes

But you do not have to feel that way tomorrow.
