At our Bible study last night we were discussing the night that the rich kid came to Jesus and asked what he needed to do to be saved. Jesus told him to sell all he had and give it to the needy and then come follow him, but the man went away sad. I wonder if how many of us Christians are very much like that young man, even if we don't want to admit it. Not only do want to impress others with what we have, but we also want to be impressed by what others have.

I think we have a tendency to measure the worth of other people by their possessions instead of measuring their worth by God's yardstick.

Ok, sorry. This is just my soapbox for the day.
I am very close to this church, Pastor Winston is my pastor. The last few times I was picKed up they had purchased new vehicles. I just thought it was another new car.
This is a BIG event, Cece Winans and other guests are here,they had to rent a few cars for tonight . No biggie, I just found it funny when I saw the enterprise tag.
