    Today Is A Good Day To Die

    Contributed by Ken Henson on Apr 21, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,631 views

    Almost every time the Bible refers to the Resurrection of Jesus, it refers to our call to follow Him to the cross. Without death there is no resurrection. Jesus bids us "come, and die".

    Today is a good day to die. Warning (Spoiler?). Today’s message is going to be morbid-focused on death. I’ll confess, I’m a Star Trek fan, And there is a species in the series that is very focused on warrior virtues. Any episode where there is a battle, and there seems to be a likelihood of ...read more

    Through Jesus Christ we approach God with confidence, trusting 100% in His merits and righteousness and none of our own. Jesus reveals the Father heart of God to us, and we're called to pursue God in holiness and love.
