The Call to Die DailyJesus calls believers to deny themselves, hate worldly attachments, and die to self daily.
Building on the FoundationAfter new birth provides the foundation, believers must choose whether to build with cheap materials or lasting, precious ones.
Investing for EternityJust as no one builds a temporary house with cheap materials when expecting to live in it forever, believers must invest in eternal things.
The Fire Tests Every WorkThe fire will test the quality of each person's work, revealing whether they obeyed God fully or merely aimed for the minimum required to get by.
Standing Before the ChoiceBelievers can no longer use the excuse of ignorance now that the truth of how to live has been clearly laid before them.
Waking Up to RealityLike someone waking from a sobering dream, believers must realize the gravity of squandering their lives and start taking their spiritual walk seriously.
