Unlike banks and other financial institutions, it requires no monthly fees. Nor are there any hidden charges, since the total debt was fully disclosed and paid for at Calvary.<\/em> This thought came to mind as one of the many perks of being a Christian, after discovering increased debits in my bank accounts. The absence of these charges\u2014which I\u2019ve coined \u2018babysitting fees\u2019\u2014is just one of the many benefits that we mustn\u2019t overlook.<\/p>\n<p>Whether we are recognizing small blessings or daily essentials, we Christians should always adhere to the words of Psalm 103:2 and never forget His benefits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bless the\u00a0Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits \u2013 Psalm 103:2 \u201cI\u2019ve already come up with over a dozen benefits of being a Christian for Sunday School\u2019s homework assignment,\u201d Junior exclaimed. \u201cExcellent!
