How true a witness for Jesus Christ are you? Take a test of self-examination
“When we talk about being a witness for Jesus Christ, we are talking about the life that bears witness for Jesus Christ.” Oftentimes what we say is thoroughly discredited by what we are and by what we do.

Take a test of self-examination. Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 removing the word charity or love and insert your own name and you will find out how true a witness you are.” (Pastor Chuck Smith – Calvary Chapel, Costa Mesa, California)
