    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Oct 8, 2007
     | 2,453 views

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,917 views

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) Is Hell Real?

Discomfort with their behavior, discomfort with what they then expect from me, or even just ...read more
