    Many had been misled by those television commercials with their popular endorsements. They had been told that if they would eat these cereals, they would one day be a champion. So many of the commercials today that we see, are deceiving and misleading. For example, they tell us that if we ...read more

    Jesus is preparing a place for us. But don’t imagine a private room with walls and a door you can lock. There will be no need for locks in Heaven. Think about sharing a big house with all the other Heavenly Family members—more like a bed and breakfast.

    INTRODUCTION In a cemetery in Indiana there’s a tombstone that has an epitaph with the intent to make people prepare for death. It says, “Consider, friend, as you pass by. As you are now, so once was I. As I am now, you soon shall be. So prepare, my friend, to follow me.” Someone ...read more
