I contend it's easier to start the race than to finish. It's easier to get a first down than a touchdown. It's easier to get to first base than score a run.  And it's easier to get someone to start the Christian life than to finish it. But just like in these sports examples, if you want to be a winner in the Christian life, finishing is what counts. Join us for today's  Da...

Are there bad things you would never do if someone was watching? I'm sure there are. God has built that into us to deter us from sinning.
