The search for options pertaining to the Christian life

During one of our Tuesday night youth group meetings, the teens were given a task of reading through Romans 12 and finding all the options pertaining to the Christian life. We called them options because we must choose whether or not to follow. We all agreed that since God's holy word the Bible said it then we must strive to follow them every day of our lives.

Here is a small part of that ten minute investigation done by the teens of OCBC.
