Guest preacher Jason Moses tells how one can be a 5-star Christian:

1. Church attendance (Hebrews 10:25 – Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of someis; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.)
2. Read your Bible, study and apply what you learn (2 Timothy 2:15 – Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.)
3. Be a witness for the cause of Christ (Luke 14:23 – And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.)
4. Pray (Matthew 7:7-8 – Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.)
5. Tithe (Malachi 3:8 – Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.)
