Series: Authentic Christian Living

James 1:1
What have you done in your life so far that will outlast your memory here on earth? In other words if you are not George Washington so you are on all the money and cities are named after you or Abraham Lincoln or Napoleon- and be in all the history books or someone like that, and if you are just normal what are you involved in that’s going to last longer than the memory of those that loved you here on earth?

You are part of something that lasts beyond the memory that you might have among those that love you. It will last beyond even what the world will remember.
