This document summarizes the four quadrants of a healthy Christian life: 1) personal relationship with God through daily Bible reading, scripture memory, and prayer; 2) corporate worship through church attendance, singing, and tithing; 3) small group community and accountability; and 4) finding an area of service within or outside the church such as teaching, outreach, or various ministries. It provides examples of how Christians like King David, Nehemiah, and Chris Tomlin have used their talents and positions to serve God. The document also addresses common excuses for not serving and encourages readers to avail themselves, pray for guidance, and respond affirmatively when opportunities arise.
