Decision Is Must in Athens County Sermon
Editor's note by Joe B. Maffett argues life hinges on choice between compromise and decision. Jesus rejects serving two masters and calls for commitment to Christ, urging readers to choose now between loyalty to God and worldly pursuits. The piece cites scripture and stresses the need for a reserve anchor in storms of life.
