"Half-heartedness never won a battle," said William McKinley, 25th president of the United States.

Yet it's so easy to fall into the attitude of giving less than a full effort. School, sports or attention to marriage and family are all too often areas that show only half-hearted efforts. Many seem satisfied with missing the mark. Some may say any effort is better than none—and true as this is, it simply is not good enough.

God demands more. Jesus said we are to serve Him with all of our heart, all of our mind and all of our strength (Mark 12:30). God deserves nothing less.

Whatever you do—do it with gusto and with all your might!
