    Make Sure You Are On The Lord's Side

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Aug 12, 2021
     | 2,892 views

    Following Jesus is more than getting him on our side to cheer for our "team." It is making sure our "team" is on his side. That takes preparation.

He had jumped from a plane along with several other skydivers and filmed the group as they individually dove out of the plane and opened their parachutes. As the video was being shown of ...read more
