Emphasis Preaching Journal

There is a story about a man who spent his whole life telling other people about the castle that he lived in. He described just how immense and wonderful this awe-inspiring castle was. So one day some people decided to go out and surprise that man and take a look at this castle that they had heard so much about. But when they got there, much to their surprise, they discovered that there was no castle there. Instead they found that the man lived in a shack. We are admonished here to consider how we actually live our lives, and not to deceive ourselves with empty words. -- Bowen
