Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I hear the term, “” a halfway Christian” and think to myself, how foolish. God is not halfway with us, so we should be all in for Him. Have a blessed day today and always.

The Christian life is a faith walk. Once in the Old Testament and three…

The good in being halfway is that at least you started. Real leaders understand the importance of finishing everything they've started, even if sometimes the outcome isn't what was expected.
