“If Jesus Christ were to sit down with us and ask for an accounting of our stewardship, I am not sure He would focus much on programs and statistics. What the Savior would want to know is the condition of our heart. He would want to know how we love and minister to those in our care, how we show our love to our spouse and family, and how we lighten their daily load. And the Savior would want to know how you and I grow closer to Him and to our Heavenly Father.” IfsKnowsWantHeartShowsCareAsksFatherJesusGrowsChristKnow HowFocusConditionsJesus ChristProgramMinistersNot SureHeavenlyStatisticsSaviorLoadSpouseOur LoveStewardshipHeavenly FatherAccounting Author:Dieter F.

“Fundamentally, our Lord's message was Himself. He did not come merely to preach a Gospel; He himself is that Gospel. He did not come merely to give bread; He said, "I am the bread." He did not come merely to shed light; He said, "I am the light." He did not come merely to show the door; He said, "I am the door." He did not come merely to name a shepherd; He said, "I am the shepherd." He did not come merely to point the way; He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life."” WayLifeGivingSaidGodShowsLightTruthChristianFaithJesusNamesChristLordDoorsMessagesJesus ChristFundamentalsBreadShedPreachingOur LordShepherdsGreatness Of God Author:J.
