Get Over Yourself

The church in the last half of the 20th century was focused on teaching Christians how to receive as much of God’s blessings as possible. While this is an important aspect in Christianity, there is another area that was, for the most part, ignored – personal evangelism. The time of the “bless me” generation has passed. It is no longer about what we can get, but what we can do. It’s time to get over yourself.
