    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 19, 2020
     | 3,620 views

    You do not end up as mere food for worms and fertilizer for flowers in a forgotten grave. You will be in one of two places after you take your last breath, and you will face the Sovereign LORD, either as Savior or Judge. Where do you stand on that fact?

    The Holy Bible affirms that there are ONLY two places where your soul can go after death. Either you will be in heaven with God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the redeemed of all history, or in hell with the devil, his angels, and the wicked of all history, to be ...read more

    What God Has Made Possible

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Sep 4, 2021
     | 2,204 views

    Scripture plainly states that salvation is of the LORD (Psalm 3:8; Isaiah 12:2; Hebrews 5:9) and that we have absolutely no power in and of ourselves to say or do otherwise. This teaching is not popular nor welcome today, but must be proclaimed regardless of what we think, say, or do.
