Susan LaffertyWhy would someone risk their life to follow Jesus? Why give up all for Christ?
Eternal life with Him. Of course.
But so much more.
Across the years, we move. Entering new places. Living and learning in various cultures where following Jesus may cost everything.
And I consider a few of the many reasons for choosing Him. Why I can’t imagine life without my Lord.
Now and forever.
Sin.

Jeremiah 17:1
The realtors come to look at our house. Consider its selling features. Advise on what we must do as we get ready to place it on the market.
We know we need to clear the clutter. But their first comment? “You sure have a lot of books.”
Why, yes. Yes we do.
Then comes the directive.
“Clear out this bookcase and that one and that one. Go ahead and pack those books. Store them out of sight.”
