Her friends surround her with music and laughter and nervous energy. They do not know when the moment will ...read more

     | 67 views

    Jesus offers full coverage for eternity—paid in His blood, active by faith, canceled only by neglect. Heaven Farm is here.

    If you turn on the radio long enough, you’ll hear it: a cheerful jingle promising that when disaster strikes, your insurance company will be there for you.

    Be careful how you answer!

    Mar 14:29  But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.  Most Christians would say something like Peter.
