There are many Christians today who live "good" and "right" lives, yet very
few people actually know that they are Christians. It is imperative in this
dark world that we back up our good actions with verbal testimony for the Lord
Jesus Christ. |

Spiritual Epitaph |
"So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his
God."
(II Chronicles 27:6). |
According to the short account of Jotham's 16-year reign, the king did just
about everything right. He did extensive rebuilding on the Temple walls and
built towns, forts, and towers. Militarily, he defeated the Ammonites in battle: "So
Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God" (II Chronicles 27:6). Despite
all this, in 16 years he was still unable to have a positive spiritual effect on his people.
