    By choosing hard and difficult things instead of nice and easy things you will make yourself a natural leader. Most people choose nice and easy things. That is why most people are on the broad and easy way that leads to Hell.

    Judas … the fallen disciple Does anyone here know a person called Judas? It doesn’t have to be a friend or relative ... just anyone. Someone you have met? I doubt we would have. In fact to test my theory I used the internet to look up the popularity of this name. This is the response of one ...read more
