39. The reality of eternal punishment
39 • The Reality of Eternal Conscious Punishment of Unbelievers We have heard that wicked people who have rejected God will be punished. And this is true. Justice will be served.

This is an incredible thought!Continue reading “25. The importance of fellowship”
24. The importance of prayer
24 • The Importance of Prayer Someone once said, just as the body needs oxygen in order to function, so the souls of men need prayer. In a sense this is true, but only shows one side of the coin.
