The question will be:
“Does he pray a lot?
Does he know his holy Book, much of it by heart?
Is he self-denying and focused on God?
Is he powerful in his weakness?”

This is refreshing. Thank you.
Very inspiring! In Christian circles, we hear so much about trying to be "relevant" to modern culture when the real emphasis needs to be on pursuing God and deepening in knowledge of Him. Thanks for the reminder.
