A Mouth And Heart Matter

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Nov 11, 2011

Jesus Christ taught that the path to heaven was very narrow and very few find it as many misguidedly choose to travel wrong paths. The bottom line is that salvation is a matter of the mouth and heart.

Doors: Open Or Closed

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 24, 2017

When God opens a door no one can close it. ? When God closes a door no one can open it. ? When one door ...read more
