“I don’t have any hard data on this, but I think that of all the major world religions, Christianity has the highest dork per capita ratio. Did I say that right?

At the beginning of Sept09 we changed all our music prices with the determination that we could begin to lead the way on music prices within Christian retailing. We know our customers love music, the sales have always reflected that but we LOVE music also, so we wanted to show that in the best way possible! Example;
In the previous post i tried to focus on the point that DeYoung made in Ch5; ‘The will of God for our lives is that we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.’ He begins Ch6 by reiterating that point and adding that ‘the most important decision we face is the daily decision to live for Christ and die to self.’ Ch6 deals with how God speaks to us.
