We live in days when faithfulness seems like a bad choice, because what if something better comes along? What if you say 'yes' to that meet-up, but a better event comes up? What if you say 'yes' to this person, but a better person comes along? Pastor JD encourages us to reevaluate our current status quo, and look at faithfulness with fresh eyes.
