Feature Blog: The Standard.

Who do we look to, so that we can measure our walk as a Christian determines how effective and impactful our life will be. Is it our pastor or even successful men? Jesus is the standard whether we accept it or not and the study and application of His life for a Christian is not a choice but a command - Lk.9:35, God states, “this is my son, listen to him”. To listen to Him is not a matter of just hearing His Words and repeating them. It is also to enact them. Jesus did not talk for the sake of saying something, but for specific reasons. This he did also in His actions.
