One life-One chance
So many people think that being "good" is going to get them into heaven. It is by following Christ and striving to be Christ-like that we will get to heaven. We must trust in Him and not in ourselves.

I believe this is why our church is on fire! We have a pastor that is hearing the word of God and relating it to us in a way we understand. A way that satan cannot steal it away from us.

From baptiser to beheaded
John the Baptist was an ordinary man. He was poorer than most. He lived in the desert. He ate wild food and dressed in the most uncomfortable clothes. Why? For the same reason all the disciples were ordinary.…
