     | 4,108 views

    God’s judgement is inescapable. How do you think you will fair on that day? What are the deeds in your life that you will need to give account of? Will they commend you or will they condemn you?

    Chippie the parakeet never saw it coming. One second he was peacefully perched in his cage. The next he was sucked in, washed up, and blown over.

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 31, 2021
     | 1,795 views

I assume that the author/narrator of John-- who I call "AJ"-- had ...read more

  • The Marks Of Maturity

    Contributed by Nigel Heath on Mar 4, 2016
     | 6,839 views

    Only when we can say, 'For me to live is Christ' can we truly say, 'to die is gain'. Spiritual maturity is the outcome of a life truly surrendered to Jesus Christ as Lord.
