“Setting Priorities by Putting Him F.I.R.S.T.!” Mark 12:28-34

“America’s greatest deficit today is a deficit of character.” preacher/author Rick Atchley “America’s greatest deficit today is a deficit of character.”

Certainly character is lacking in our nation across the board Certainly character is lacking in our nation across the board. But is character the cause or the result? Do we have this character deficit because of something deeper?

Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.”

“…in order that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.” NASB Deuteronomy 14:23 “…in order that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.” NASB “The purpose of tithing is to teach you always to put God first in your lives.” Living Bible Paraphrase
