The Mystery Of Death Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

As long as we are in these bodies there will be veils, but it is our responsibility to lift those veils and remove them where God has given knowledge. There is no merit in being ignorant of that which God wants us to see concerning death.

Shadow Of Death

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Feb 27, 2020

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the ‘shadow of death’ indicates there is a massive, bright and overwhelming light of hope behind any ‘darkness’ that haunts you. Behind any/all darkness in your life is that ‘ray of hope’, which is higher, greater, and certainly brighter than any ‘doom’.

Fear is a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined. Often it is the feeling or condition of being afraid. Combine that with Darkness and there-in is a gripping and many times overwhelming sense of pending doom.. of certain calamity… ...read more

Death Of A Nation

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 16, 2020

You plant them, and they take root; they grow and produce fruit; you are near in their mouth and far from their heart. ...read more
