Christ gave all He had-including His earthly life-to wash away our sins! Honor Him by therefore being as profound and pure of a holy servant to Him and His will for your life as possible, each moment...

Discover your most important & desired nourishment from God's personal letter to you

"As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby," 1 Peter 2:2, NKJV

Relentlessly absord God's book from cover to cover, and find needed and wanted strength and power each and every day from it, because none of us can make it through this world of darkness on our own and we must have His bread for the long journey (until we're thankfully returned to the Lord's celestial shore)...

Remember to be more diligent about thanking Him for specific and appreciated blessings, as you conduct daily prayer, and remind others to do so as well, especially when they're depressed and struggling with problems of this world of darkness...

Spread God's message to as many white disciples as possible

"Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them; but He said to them, "I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent."

Truly perform good deeds out of allegiance to Christ

"this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men-as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God." 1 Peter 2:15-16, NKJV

But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15, NKJV

Everyone serves a master, and no one can serve more than one Maker.

Last night, as I watched Fantasy Island (which I'm working through), the episode showed the worthless religion of vodoo, and I was noticing at how horrific and worthless it and its practicioners were, and how I-like you-must need and want to serve God alone (so practice this with all you have today, at each opportunity)...
