Example 3: The Farmer
A life with Jesus should include good work, even though our own works don't save us; however, there's even more waiting for those who obey His commands

No Question in His Mind
Paul knew that it was better to suffer and succeed for God, than to prosper for the wrong purpose
My Way or the Narrow Way
God has a plan, a purpose, and a promise for you. Keep an eye out for it!

Keep Up the Good Work
Love God. Love people. Easy to say. Sometimes difficult to do. Always worth the effort.
