From the outside looking in, the long jump event in track and field doesn’t seem very complicated. You run and then, well, jump. What’s so difficult about that?

Consistency in any field or arena of life is important. But, consistency in the realm of Christian living moves beyond the term “important” into the zone of “eternally significant.” An inconsistent Christian can be the undoing of another human soul, the justification of a wary skeptic to stay away from the Truth, and even the excuse for another bel…
