George Bailey’s life shows the power of loving others more than yourself, while Mr. Potter shows where selfishness leads. Which direction do you actually lean toward in real life — and what evidence proves it?

-
The movie claims friendship is life’s ultimate success. The message argues eternity with Christ is. Which one are you functionally living for based on your habits, priorities, and calendar?
-
