WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CHRISTIAN
1. One of the common misconceptions about Christians is that once you’ve been covered by Christ, you no longer sin or make bad decisions. But that’s not true. The difference is that when we fall down into the pit of sin, we don’t stay there. Christians get up and get going again.

2. For though the righteous man falls seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity (Proverbs 24:16)
~*~*~
3. No matter how far away from the Master we have wondered away, He will search for us and call us until His work is complete.
