We all know of people that speak of grand plans and abilities, but seem unable to back it up. If we don’t know them personally, we have observed them in politics, sports, entertainment, and sales people. Their actions just don’t live up to their abundance of words.

The gospel of Jesus Christ has eternal consequences for the believer and for those who reject Him.
