Key Thought

If you ask people today who they think Jesus is, you will get a myriad of answers. Many folks don't know and quite a few don't care. The lost world's greatest need is for Jesus' followers to both know who he really is and demonstrate it in our lives!

Today's Prayer

O Father in heaven, help us—and especially help me—better demonstrate who Jesus is to those around us. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
