Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Jul 20, 2023

Our salvation gives us a new look, a new perspective, on life so that changes how we deal with things that come into our life.

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Oct 23, 2022

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 2, 2022

Many people are afraid to die, but Paul said he strongly desired to depart, because he knew it was far better, and would be a gain for him. Relationship with Christ and faith in the Word of God should give us confidence to face death. To die is Gain!

Fanatic For Jesus Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021
