    The end of the world is coming. Even if the end doesn't come in our lifetime, everyone dies at some point. This fact serves as a constant and urgent reminder that our goal as followers of Jesus is to go to heaven and we want to take as many others with us as we can.

It's a big Bible Word but it has a simple meaning. A disciple of Jesus is a follower or even more ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,922 views

Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete ...read more
