     | 2,222 views

Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?” Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. ...read more

    A Seasoned Christian Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another. - Mark 9:50 There are many Christians in our world today. And as Christians, we are called to show compassion, kindness, and love.

I once was talking to someone and the subject of death came up, don’t ask me how I can’t really remember. What I do ...read more
