     | 3,233 views

    Some deaths people treat as a “tragic end”, but for some deaths, people say “well-earned rest”. Our judgments are not true because those are based on outward known deeds. Death reveals mysteries.

You can sit in church your whole life and never let Christ into your heart. You can try very hard to adjust your outward ...read more
