Are we making a real difference in the lives of others around us or are we straddling the fence between God's Kingdom and the world's ways? By examining our choices through the bible, we can live within God's will, where true joy and effectiveness are found. To get off the fence, we must fear the Lord, live earnestly, never negotiate, be committed, and exemplify Christ. Praying and fasting help build the discipline, diligence, and dependence needed to stay aligned with God's purpose and make a lasting impact.
