| How to Be a Christian All the Time Pastor Michael Brown E-mail Michael Glad Tidings Church of God Fonthill, Ontario, Canada What does it mean to be a Christian?

God has big plans for all of us, but sometimes when we're "busy here and there," we miss the opportunities to do His will. What's most important? What are our priorities? Where is the real Christianity? It's time for the light in this world to shine brighter than ever. 1 Kings 20:35-40; Song of Solomon 1:6 |

What has God called you to do? Right now, you might look like just another fallen boulder, but God sees a new work of art. Like a sculptor's creation, God gradually chisels away the unwanted stone in our lives to reveal the image of Christ that's inside of us.
