Several times each year students throughout the country receive report cards to indicate the progress they are making in school. Some schools use the familiar alphabet grading system that has been used for years. In this grading system "A" stands for best. "B" is good and "C" is normal or average. To mention lower grades is perhaps a little too personal.

God has some "Be's" that He gives and they stand for best. Unless we have these "Be's on our eternal report card will be lost for all eternity!

For everything in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--comes not from the Father but from the world. 1 John 2:16
