The Great Commission is not about leading and loving people to stand for our National Anthem, our Great Commission is about leading and loving people to bow before Jesus Christ for salvation and eternal life.

I get caught up working on so many projects and plans, reaching for goals and marking things off my “To Do List,” because it feels good to get things done. But I need to remember that I can walk with my Reward today. ...Keep Reading
